When to call us in Queen's Park
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has normally failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
The problems people usually mention when they call are:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
As a London address, Queen's Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

How we handle external mastic in Queen's Park
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Typical jobs include gaps where render, brick and frames meet and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
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.

Queen's Park: your questions answered
Is parking an issue for external mastic in Queen's Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
Can you do external mastic in Queen's Park?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Queen's Park is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We will talk through colour options before any work starts.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
Why deal with it now?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. 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. Putting it right early is much less trouble.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that is happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Queen's Park, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- 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

Advice
External mastic in Queen's Park: local notes
Historic houses like Winfield House (about 1.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Queen's Park has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.
Letting a property close to Queens Park (London) station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as West Kilburn Baptist Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
