External mastic in Stocking Pelham, done properly
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. We work on render & cladding joints, façade panels and joints between brick and frames, and the jobs we see most are rigid filler in a joint that should flex and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Around Stocking Pelham, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Big or small, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stocking Pelham, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Stocking Pelham, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
When it is not the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
