About our external mastic in Rosehill
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you’re dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can put it right, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims alike.
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, and both kinds of building are found across London.
You’re 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.

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.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod coloured to suit the wall.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Rosehill. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Should I try it myself first?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Rosehill questions
Can you do external mastic in Rosehill?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Rosehill is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sutton Common station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
How long before the joint can be used?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
What does external mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. 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. Dealing with it early is far simpler for homes in Rosehill.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around Rosehill
With historic houses such as Nonsuch Mansion (about 2.6 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Rosehill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around St Peter's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. As a London address, Rosehill can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

When to call us in Rosehill
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
If you let a flat or house near Sutton Common station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
