External mastic in Spring Park
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. We work on copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames, and common reasons people get in touch are joints where the bead has come unstuck and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. In Spring Park, joints up high may need ladders or other access, which is worth talking through when you book.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Questions from Spring Park
Is parking a problem for a job in Spring Park?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. The visit is then planned around what’s available.
I let a flat near West Wickham station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
How long does external mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the preparation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
What affects the cost of external mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we will talk you through the work.
What external mastic looks like in Spring Park
London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. 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.
If you look after a building such as Forest Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to West Wickham station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What we do, step by step
There is not much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. In Spring Park, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
When to call us in Spring Park
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
As a London address, Spring Park can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.
What your quote should include
- What guarantee comes with the work
- Whether you can choose the colour
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- What happens if the job turns out different
Landlords, agents and businesses in Spring Park
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Spring Park and across Greater London. We can quote a run of properties together, and we are fully insured.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
