External mastic in Queens Park, done properly
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. Typical jobs include hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and damp patches traced to an open external joint, across render & cladding joints, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Queens Park add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In an older home around Queens Park, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll talk you through it.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before any work begins. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Queens Park, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Do you need external mastic in Queens Park?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Rented homes near Aylesbury 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
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing

Queens Park 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.
If you look after a building such as Aylesbury Grammar School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. We prime where the sealant needs it.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Façade panels

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Queens Park: your questions answered
Is Queens Park in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Queens Park is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Will you come out to Queens Park?
Yes, Queens Park is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that generally means someone at home.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What is a movement joint?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
