External mastic in Totteridge, done properly
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you are dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can help, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints alike.
Around Totteridge, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What external mastic looks like in Totteridge
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Hughenden Manor (about 1.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Totteridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to High Wycombe station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Andrew's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What we do, step by step
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Parking around Totteridge is generally easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Move anything stored near the joints

Related advice
How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
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.

Can you do external mastic in Totteridge?

Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. All our work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, and it’s something we never do.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
How long does external mastic last?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.

What else we do in Totteridge
Signs you need external mastic in Totteridge
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
Managing a site like Highcrest Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
