About our external mastic in Parslow's Hillock
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block alike.
Somewhere as small as Parslow's Hillock, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Outside joints around Parslow's Hillock
Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Parslow's Hillock 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Princes Risborough School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Hughenden Manor, about 4.6 miles south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Parslow's Hillock.

Why act early in Parslow's Hillock
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render near the open joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In a small place like Parslow's Hillock, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

Signs you need external mastic in Parslow's Hillock
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames

Parslow's Hillock questions
Is Parslow's Hillock within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Parslow's Hillock in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Parslow's Hillock is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is it messy?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Can I do it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Where joints can be reached safely, we’ll do them. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The type of sealant required

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap.
What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we’re treating. The job usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and we explain the cure time before we leave. In a small place like Parslow's Hillock, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
