About our external mastic in Toot Hill
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the line blends in. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and failed seals between different materials, across façade panels, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Toot Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee.

Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Around Toot Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.

External mastic in Toot Hill: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hill Hall (about 2.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Toot Hill has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.

How to look after the new joints
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Toot Hill
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
