Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
External mastic in Warner Estate
For buildings in Warner Estate, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Common call-outs are for failed seals between different materials and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, across copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
Newer London blocks are built with movement joints in brick and render, and with cladding joints sealed with mastic. Period houses have different weak points, such as gutter joints, trims and the line where an extension meets the old wall.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee.

What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In Warner Estate, as in most of London, parking needs a little planning. It helps if you can point us to a visitor permit or a bay close to the door.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Walls and rooflines in Warner Estate
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Bruce Castle (about 2.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Warner Estate as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Walthamstow Central station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. In the older streets around St John's, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.

When it isn’t the sealant
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
Why deal with it now?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. In a flat in Warner Estate, 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.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Questions from Warner Estate
Do you work for landlords with property near Walthamstow Central station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is parking a problem for a job in Warner Estate?
It can be, so it helps to tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Larger jobs can be planned room by room or area by area to suit the site.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
What we are called out for in Warner Estate
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
If you look after a building such as The Winns Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before booking
- What product goes in the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee
- How much experience the applicator has
