How we handle external mastic in Harold Hill
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Common call-outs are for joints with sealant missing in places and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames. Whether you are looking for a mastic company, a sealant applicator or a sealant company in Harold Hill, Mr Mastic can help.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. In a converted house in Harold Hill, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

External mastic in Harold Hill: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Hare Hall (about 1.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Harold Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Harold Wood station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Drapers' Pyrgo Priory School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. As a London address, Harold Hill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. In London conversions, one flat’s bathroom is often above another flat’s ceiling, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Harold Hill.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork

Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Harold Hill: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Harold Wood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Is parking an issue for external mastic in Harold Hill?
Parking in Harold Hill, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot, so mention what’s available when you book.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We are based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How the visit works
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Let us know about parking restrictions

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any mould that needs treating
- The amount of work
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. For a quick quote, please phone 07833 053749 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote

- Any access issues, like height or stairs
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, ring 07833 053749 or send us an email.
Landlord and commercial work in Harold Hill
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Letting agents and landlords in Harold Hill can book us as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
