External Mastic in Bredhurst

External mastic in Bredhurst, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Bredhurst, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Bredhurst, 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.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Bredhurst and across Medway.

Quotes for external mastic in Bredhurst
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- When we can work, for business premises
- The type of sealant required
- How easy the joints are to reach
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What to tell us for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

Bredhurst questions
I let a flat near Rainham (Kent) station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Do you cover Bredhurst for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Bredhurst is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us what needs doing.
What should I tell you?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Where do you work from?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Every job carries our 12-month guarantee.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Bredhurst, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions

Advice
What we can’t put right
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
Bredhurst buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Restoration House (about 5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Bredhurst as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Rainham (Kent) station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Deanwood Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
