DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Sheerwater
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and weeds or debris growing in open joints, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and copings & trims.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Sheerwater is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Your questions about external mastic in Sheerwater
Do you cover Sheerwater for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Sheerwater is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
I let a flat near West Byfleet station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is 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 wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the product. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.

Sheerwater buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Botleys Mansion (about 2.8 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Sheerwater has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St. Michaels Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Managing a site like Broadmere Primary Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Leave it or put it right?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Sheerwater, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Common problems we fix in Sheerwater
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, so it pulls away from the edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you let a flat or house near West Byfleet station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

The process
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 to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Sheerwater, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- 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.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
