External Mastic in Sudbury Hill
Our applicators work in Sudbury Hill on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
External mastic in Sudbury Hill, done properly
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We work on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block, and people most often call us about water getting into walls through failed joints and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
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 Sudbury Hill, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The problem you’ve noticed
- The address or postcode of the job
Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the job. You’ll know what we plan to do, and what it will cost, before any work begins.

Signs you need external mastic in Sudbury Hill
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Sudbury Hill is in London, so parking needs planning: let us know about parking bays, permits or a driveway.

Why act early in Sudbury Hill
Water gets in through a failed movement joint. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a flat in Sudbury Hill, failed sealant seldom stays inside your own four walls: water from a shower or window joint can reach the flat below, and gaps in fire-stopping matter to everyone in the building.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Arbo and Everbuild products
- You choose the colour before work begins
- We leave the area clean and tidy

Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In Sudbury Hill, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Sudbury Hill: your questions answered
Is Sudbury Hill in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Sudbury Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sudbury & Harrow Road station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. All our work carries our one-year guarantee.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location, with pictures by email if possible. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it won’t last. It may look fine at first, but the new layer lifts away from the old one. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we are fully insured too.
External mastic in Sudbury Hill: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so it’s worth agreeing who is responsible before work starts.
Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Sudbury & Harrow Road station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
