How we handle external mastic in Boughton Green
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. Common call-outs are for damp patches traced to an open external joint and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and concrete & block.
Somewhere as small as Boughton Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

External mastic in Boughton Green: local notes
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. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 2.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Boughton Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near East Farleigh station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Coxheath Congregational Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works

- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.

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 matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick.
Why it’s worth doing now in Boughton Green
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Boughton Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
