External mastic in Brandfold
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 are dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Brandfold is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Do you need external mastic in Brandfold?
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler. The joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
The most common problems we see are:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Brandfold buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Scotney Castle (about 3.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brandfold as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
Rented homes near Marden station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Goudhurst and Kilndown Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.

How do I get a quote for external mastic in Brandfold?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. We agree the price before any work begins.
When will the joints need doing again?
There’s no fixed answer: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Every job carries our one-year guarantee.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.

That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. Once we have agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.

Why act early in Brandfold
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Brandfold, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

How the visit works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, just the space around the work. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation for a typical job.

We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
