External & façade joints in Bramling, Kent
External mastic for Bramling, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
How we handle external mastic in Bramling
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you are dealing with water getting into walls through failed joints and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, we can put it right.
Around Bramling, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

The process
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Bramling, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Clear the area around the work

Outside joints around Bramling
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Goodnestone Park (about 2.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Bramling has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Church of St John, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to Adisham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Wingham Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. The old joint is removed and a sealant that bonds to both sides goes in.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Bramling
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Older cottages and farmhouses around Bramling can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on the amount of work, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Bramling: your questions answered
Can you do external mastic in Bramling?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bramling is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Mortar locks the joint solid, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. If you can, email a few pictures.
