DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
How we handle external mastic in Boughton Monchelsea
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you’re dealing with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Boughton Monchelsea, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we have gone.

What happens if it’s left?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like Boughton Monchelsea, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask about the job first.

Walls and rooflines in Boughton Monchelsea
With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Boughton Monchelsea as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to East Farleigh station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

It depends on the building. Send us photos and a rough idea of the height and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.

Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Joints between brick and frames
