External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.

In a London area such as Harrow Weald, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.

Advice
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much there is to seal
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Headstone Lane station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does your area include sites such as Waverley Industrial Park, near Harrow Weald?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Harrow Weald, Waverley Industrial Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
