Common questions in Quendon
I let a flat near Newport (Essex) station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Quendon?
Yes, Quendon 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.
How long does the job take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
External mastic in Quendon
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. If you’re dealing with old sealant gone brittle and cracked and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can put it right.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Quendon is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

What affects the quote in Quendon
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Any working-time requirements on site
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.
What we need to know
When you contact us, it’s useful to know:
- Where the property is
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
- The type of property
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job, and we will talk you through what we’d do. Whenever you’re ready, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. Somewhere as small as Quendon, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Advice
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Quendon, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Quendon
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We never seal over old sealant

Walls and rooflines in Quendon
With historic houses such as Horham Hall (about 4.6 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Quendon as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near Newport (Essex) station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.

When to call us in Quendon
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
If you live in an older home near Church of Quendon, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
