About our external mastic in Sewardstonebury
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We’re often asked to deal with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
Outside work in London starts with access: side passages, upper floors and where to park. For a home in Sewardstonebury, tell us how high the joints are and how to reach the back of the building.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In Sewardstonebury, flats, stairs and shared entrances are part of the routine. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Questions from Sewardstonebury
Is parking a problem for a job in Sewardstonebury?
Parking in Sewardstonebury, as in most of London, takes a little planning: a visitor permit or a bay close to the door helps a lot.
I let a flat near Chingford station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Sewardstonebury?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we’ve been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Where do you work from?
We are based in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Walls and rooflines in Sewardstonebury
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. Historic houses like Forty Hall (about 3.8 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Sewardstonebury has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Letting a property close to Chingford station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around Chingford United Reformed Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Yardley Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re 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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
