- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
How we handle external mastic in Spring Grove
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product. We’re often asked to deal with rigid filler in a joint that should flex and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, on copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
Newer London blocks are built with movement joints in brick and render, and with cladding joints sealed with mastic. Period houses have different weak points, such as gutter joints, trims and the line where an extension meets the old wall, and both kinds of building are found across London.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

Questions from Spring Grove
Do you work for landlords with property near Isleworth station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you do external mastic in Spring Grove?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Spring Grove is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
Can I do it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
What does external mastic cost?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Spring Grove, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Every job guaranteed for a year
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Full insurance on every job
- A choice of colours where the product allows
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal

What external mastic looks like in Spring Grove
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. Historic houses like Osterley House (about 0.7 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Spring Grove 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.
Spring Grove is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. In the older streets around St Mary's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Isleworth and Syon School for Boys are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

What we do, step by step
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job.

- 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.
