DIY versus a professional finish
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.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Bloodden
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we do not skip that step. If you have plants rooting in failed movement joints and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Bloodden, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What happens if it’s left?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Bloodden, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Bloodden, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

What external mastic looks like in Bloodden
Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 1.5 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Bloodden has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Adisham station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of the Holy Innocents, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What’s near Bloodden
Bloodden has its own railway station: Adisham station. A little further out are St Martins Hospital (4.5 miles north-west).
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Have failed joints looked at early
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.

Quotes for external mastic in Bloodden
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. 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.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- The rough size of the job
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Where the property is
- Whether it’s a home or a business
There’s no standard price list. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Your questions about external mastic in Bloodden
Will you come out to Bloodden?
Yes, Bloodden is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Adisham station?

What does external mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
What sealant do you use?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It gives the wall room to move.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We will tell you when we quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Cure times vary by product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
Do you need external mastic in Bloodden?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
Schools such as Adisham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
