External mastic in Norwood New Town
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals between different materials and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and façade panels.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. In a converted house in Norwood New Town, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Landlord and commercial work in Norwood New Town
If you manage several properties in or around Norwood New Town, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What affects the quote in Norwood New Town
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Where the property is
- A few photos by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why act early in Norwood New Town
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. In a flat in Norwood New Town, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why Norwood New Town customers choose us
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- More than 20 years in sealant work
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour picked to suit the job

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

External mastic in Norwood New Town: local notes
Historic houses like Kingswood House (about 0.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Norwood New Town has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Gipsy Hill station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Rockmount Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to New Covenant Church-Equipping People include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
