External mastic in Little Stanmore, done properly
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, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Typical jobs include sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, on façade panels, copings & trims and joints between brick and frames.
Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Little Stanmore, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Little Stanmore questions
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Little Stanmore for external mastic?
Yes, Little Stanmore is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we’re fully insured.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before any work starts, matched as closely as the range allows.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.

Outside joints around Little Stanmore
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Headstone Manor (about 3.1 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Little Stanmore as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Homes close to Church of St Lawrence include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Little Stanmore is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Panel joints letting water in
Schools such as Krishna Avanti Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
