External mastic near Well Hall

Can I do it myself?

If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.

Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Well Hall

On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Well Hall, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you’re dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and plants rooting in failed movement joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface.

In London terraces and converted houses, gutters and walls are often shared with the house next door, so a leaking gutter joint or failed wall joint can affect more than one home. In a converted house in Well Hall, it’s worth checking who is responsible for the outside before booking.

Our work is backed for twelve months, in Well Hall and everywhere else we cover.

Common problems we fix in Well Hall

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 cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
  • Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
  • Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
  • Weeds or debris growing in open joints

In the older streets around St Barnabas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Choosing a sealant specialist

The process

On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before we start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking in much of London is by permit or pay-and-display, so it helps to know what’s near you in Well Hall. A visitor permit or a nearby bay makes the visit run more smoothly.

  1. We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
  2. Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
  3. The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
  4. Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
  5. The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.

Before we arrive

  • Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
  • For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
  • Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

Outside joints around Well Hall

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. London terraces and converted houses often share gutters, downpipes and walls, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking.

Letting a property close to Eltham station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. As a London address, Well Hall can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

Quotes for external mastic in Well Hall

Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
  • Mould in or behind the old joints
  • The number of rooms or windows
  • Access and height

The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

What we need to know

When you call or email, it’s useful to know:

  • Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
  • Pictures of the joints, sent by email
  • Where the property is
  • What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking

Need a quote? Please ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the job. We’ll explain what we’d do and give you a clear quote before any work starts.

Leave it or put it right?

Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Converted houses in London often have a bathroom above someone else’s living room, so a small leak from tired sealant can mean a neighbour’s ceiling and a lot of disruption. Putting it right early is much less trouble.

Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.

  • 20+ years of sealant experience
  • Domestic, commercial and hotel work

Your questions about external mastic in Well Hall

Is parking a problem for a job in Well Hall?

London parking needs a little planning, so let us know about permits, bays or a driveway when you book. That way the visit can be planned around it.

I let a flat near Eltham station. Can you help?

Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.

Is there any odour?

That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.

Can you quote for more than one area?

Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit, so mention them when you ask for a quote.

Are you fully insured?

Yes, we’re fully insured for every job we do.

Do you hold any approvals?

Yes. We are ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.

Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?

No. Rigid materials cannot move with the wall and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.

Do you guarantee your work?

Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, large or small.

Keeping the joints in good condition

Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:

  • Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
  • Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
  • Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
  • Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are

Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.

Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
