About our external mastic in Badgers Mount
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, across render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
Older homes in small places like Badgers Mount may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Badgers Mount and across Kent.

Walls and rooflines in Badgers Mount
Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 2.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Badgers Mount has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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 let a flat or house near Knockholt station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Margaret's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
How it works
Once we’re on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Badgers Mount, access is generally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Clear the area around the work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
