External mastic in Tattenham Corner
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. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and failed seals between different materials, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Tattenham Corner, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When to call us in Tattenham Corner
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Panel joints letting water in
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mark, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before booking
- Is VAT in the price?
- The length of the guarantee
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the colour is chosen

External mastic in Tattenham Corner: local notes
With historic houses such as Fitznells Manor (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tattenham Corner as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.

For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Epsom Downs Primary School and Children's Centre, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can carry on as normal. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Tattenham Corner, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Move anything stored near the joints

How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
Common questions in Tattenham Corner
Do you work for landlords with property near Tattenham Corner station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Tattenham Corner?
Yes, Tattenham Corner is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How long should I leave it?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Bigger jobs take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before resealing.
How we quote for external mastic
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- The product the joint needs
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
It all starts with a short chat. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. Whenever you are ready, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
