External mastic in Silver End
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible sealant bridges the two where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you have old sealant gone brittle and cracked and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, we can help, whatever the surface.
Around Silver End, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Silver End and across Essex.

What we do, step by step
When we get to you, 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 smaller place like Silver End, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Outside joints around Silver End
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For landlords with property near White Notley station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Homes close to St Francis' Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

FAQs for Silver End
Is Silver End in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Silver End is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Silver End?
Yes, Silver End is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
What is backing rod for?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
Where are you based?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Silver End.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
Common problems we fix in Silver End
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler, often by someone who didn’t know what it was for. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you look after a building such as Silver End Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What insurance they hold
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
Leave it or put it right?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Homes in smaller places like Silver End can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.

Surface by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
