External & façade joints in Aylesford, Kent
Our applicators work in Aylesford on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.

Leave it or put it right?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Around Aylesford, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Aylesford
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Aylesford, 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 are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, we can help.
Around Aylesford, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use, or one the system allows. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Outside joints around Aylesford
With historic houses such as Starkey Castle (about 4.5 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Aylesford as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Aylesford Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Rented homes near Aylesford station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Managing a site like Aylesford Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Aylesford: your questions answered
Will you come out to Aylesford?
Yes. Aylesford is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Aylesford station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What is a movement joint?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is usually a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Aylesford?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. Parking around Aylesford is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
