Horn Park External Mastic
External mastic across Horn Park and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
How to look after the new joints
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Horn Park
For buildings in Horn Park, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We work on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are gaps where render, brick and frames meet and joints with sealant missing in places.
Modern London flats rely on sealed movement joints and cladding joints. Period houses have different weak points, such as gutter joints, trims and the line where an extension meets the old wall, and both kinds of building are found across London.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Horn Park
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Access and height
- The amount of work
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Where the property is

Walls and rooflines in Horn Park
With historic houses such as Eltham Palace (about 1 mile east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Horn Park as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Saviour, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Horn Park is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Your questions about external mastic in Horn Park
Is parking a problem for a job in Horn Park?
Parking in Horn Park, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Lee station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How long does external mastic last?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We’re based in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Landlord and commercial work in Horn Park
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Horn Park and across Greater London. Several sites can go on one quote.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a job in Horn Park, parking and access are the things to plan: let us know about parking, the floor we will be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What else we do in Horn Park
Why act early in Horn Park
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, 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.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What we are called out for in Horn Park
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 tears as soon as the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Panel joints letting water in
Schools such as Horn Park Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they hold
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
