How we handle external mastic in Stamford Hill
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, so it bonds to the two sides only and can stretch. Common call-outs are for damp patches traced to an open external joint and joints where the bead has come unstuck, on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
London’s terraces and conversions often share walls, gutters and downpipes with their neighbours, so one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. In a converted house in Stamford Hill, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Questions from Stamford Hill
Can you do external mastic in Stamford Hill?
Yes, Stamford Hill is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
I let a flat near Stamford Hill station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures, which fades as it sets. Opening a window helps.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.

Walls and rooflines in Stamford Hill
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. With historic houses such as Sutton House (about 1.8 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stamford Hill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Stamford Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway. Rented homes near Stamford Hill station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Holmleigh Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Many London jobs are in flats, so we come ready for stairs, narrow hallways and shared entrances. If the building has a concierge, managing agent or access rules, tell us when you book.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs 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
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Clear items away from the joints we’re working on

Advice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then 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 fails, we can still redo it.
Why act early in Stamford Hill
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a London flat, a failed joint rarely stays your problem alone: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
