External mastic in Hook Common
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. If you’re dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Hook Common is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

Honest limits
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t solve:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last so it’s worth doing right. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hook Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why us?
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- Colour agreed with you before we start
- One-year guarantee on every job

Your questions about external mastic in Hook Common
Is Hook Common in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Hook Common is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hook station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access, while outside work can sometimes be arranged differently.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
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.
What information do you need?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Outside joints around Hook Common
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near St John the Evangelist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Hook station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What we are called out for in Hook Common
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
If you look after a building such as Hook Infant School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How we quote for external mastic
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The type of sealant required
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The rough size of the job
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and email photos if that’s easy.
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and clear up. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Hook Common needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work
