External mastic in Shurlock Row, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two. If you have old sealant gone brittle and cracked and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Shurlock Row, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Shurlock Row, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last so it’s worth doing right. Around Shurlock Row, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Questions from Shurlock Row
Will you come out to Shurlock Row?
Yes, Shurlock Row is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is Shurlock Row in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Shurlock Row is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Do you use backing rod?
That is backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
Will you leave a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints, and we clear up when we are done.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you need external mastic in Shurlock Row?
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
Letting a property close to Twyford station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
