External mastic for homes and businesses in Blue Town
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. If you are dealing with rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and plants rooting in failed movement joints, we can help.
Around Blue Town, 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.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Blue Town and across Kent.

Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last, so it pays to do it properly once. In a smaller place like Blue Town, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Indoors, a failed seal lets water into floors and panels as it would anywhere.
Combining jobs into one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Blue Town buildings and the weather
Blue Town is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like St Edward's Catholic Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Sheerness-On-Sea station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Rather than a set price list, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Questions from Blue Town
Do you cover smaller places like Blue Town?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Sheerness-On-Sea station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We will talk through colour options before any work starts.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height and we will confirm how they can be reached safely.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Does someone need to be in?
We need access to the joints, so we will agree that with you when we book. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. A visit to Blue Town is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
