About our external mastic in Well Hill
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we do not skip that step. We are often asked to deal with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and façade panels.
Working on the outside of a London home means planning access: shared paths, upper floors and parking. In Well Hill, joints up high may need ladders or other access, which is worth talking through when you book.
All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London.

When to call us in Well Hill
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed seals between different materials
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
As a London address, Well Hill can be tricky for parking: tell us about permits, visitor bays or off-street space when you book.

What we do, step by step
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. The job normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In Well Hill, 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 look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is generally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. Damp from a failed joint spreads quietly in older London brickwork and timber, and once it shows in Well Hill, the repair is bigger than a sealant job.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs, along with when we can work on site. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

External mastic in Well Hill: local notes
In terraces and conversions, gutters and walls are often shared with the neighbours, so check who is responsible for the outside before booking. The South East is one of 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 live in an older home near Mission Chapel, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Knockholt station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Surface by surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
