How we handle external mastic in Sewardstone
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. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are weathered mastic that no longer stretches and weeds or debris growing in open joints.
Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Sewardstone, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How the visit works
Once we’re on site, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a London area like Sewardstone, the main things to plan are parking and access: let us know about parking, the floor we’ll be working on and any lift or shared entrance.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
When to call us in Sewardstone
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
Look out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Failed seals between different materials
Historic houses such as Forty Hall, about 2.8 miles west, show how far back building around Sewardstone goes, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- Who does the work, and how experienced they are
- What product goes in the joint
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Leave it or put it right?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a flat in Sewardstone, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water can reach the neighbours below, and gaps in fire-rated joints affect the whole building.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Aftercare tips
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Point out the joints to other trades
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
Sewardstone questions
Is Sewardstone in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sewardstone is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
Is parking an issue for external mastic in Sewardstone?
Parking in Sewardstone, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the day run more smoothly.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator, and we are fully insured.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels across Greater London.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.

Walls and rooflines in Sewardstone
In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Prince of Wales Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Sewardstone is in London, so parking needs planning: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
