External mastic in World's End, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. If you have failed sealant between panels on a façade and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, 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 one failed joint can cause damp for more than one household. For a flat in World's End, check the lease for who looks after the outside.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

When it isn’t the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Surface by surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant.
Outside joints around World's End
With historic houses such as Carlyle's House (about 0.5 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around World's End as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For landlords with property near Imperial Wharf station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Schools such as Ashburnham Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works.
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

What affects the quote in World's End
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How many areas need sealing
- The number and length of the joints
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you ask for a quote, tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- The type of property
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work.
Can I do it myself?
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
