Tingrith buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Flitwick Manor (about 1.8 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Tingrith as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Harlington station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Harlington Upper School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Tingrith
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints alike.
Somewhere as small as Tingrith, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard.

Do you need external mastic in Tingrith?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Panel joints letting water in
Homes close to Church of St Nicholas include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. 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, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.

How it works
When we arrive, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Tingrith, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
Looking after it afterwards
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Check external joints each spring
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can go on one quote.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Tingrith questions
Is Tingrith in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Tingrith is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Tingrith?
Yes, Tingrith is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
How long does external mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Cure times vary by product and the conditions. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, always, and completely. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
