Questions from Lower Clapton
I let a flat near Homerton station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. 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.
Is parking an issue for external mastic in Lower Clapton?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Will you leave a mess?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and we clear up when we are done.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll explain our choice.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Lower Clapton?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before work begins.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
External mastic in Lower Clapton
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Lower Clapton, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you’re dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can help, whatever the surface.
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. For a flat in Lower Clapton, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What affects the cost of external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- Any mould that needs treating
- How many areas need sealing
- The product the joint needs
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Helping us quote
A few details help us give you an accurate quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quote, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. We’ll give you a clear price before any work starts.
How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access in most cases. In Lower Clapton, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use or an approved alternative. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
Lower Clapton buildings and the weather
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. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Lower Clapton is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. Homes close to United Reformed Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Around Lower Clapton

Signs you need external mastic in Lower Clapton
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Panel joints letting water in
Rented homes near Homerton station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Who turns up on the day
- How long the guarantee is
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
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 early resealing is worth it.
Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

When it is not the sealant
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
