What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
External mastic in Stanmore
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and weeds or debris growing in open joints.
In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. For a flat in Stanmore, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
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.
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Why act early in Stanmore
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In older London homes, water behind a failed joint soaks into brick and timber without much sign, and by the time it shows on a wall or ceiling in Stanmore, the repair is bigger than the sealant job would have been.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear price before any work starts.

What we do, step by step
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a job in Stanmore, parking and access are the things to plan: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space, which floor we are working on and whether there’s a lift.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Your questions about external mastic in Stanmore
Can parking be tricky for a visit in Stanmore?
London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
Is Stanmore in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stanmore is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear quote.
Do the sealants smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so please follow the time we give you.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
How do you reach high-level joints?
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 new sealant go over the old?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.

What we cannot put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

What external mastic looks like in Stanmore
London and the South East are among 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 Headstone Manor (about 2.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Stanmore has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Harrow & Wealdstone station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St John, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. As a London address, Stanmore can be tricky for parking: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.
