How we handle external mastic in Bean
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a colour to suit. We work on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
Older homes in small places like Bean may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Bean, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Honest limits
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much there is to do

No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. A primer goes on where the product requires one before sealing.
External mastic in Bean: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, 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 Greenhithe for Bluewater station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Bean Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
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.
