Brogdale External Mastic
Movement joints in Brogdale need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
External mastic in Brogdale, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Common call-outs are for joints where the bead has come unstuck and failed seals between different materials, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Brogdale, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Brogdale buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 2.2 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Brogdale as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you look after a building such as Ospringe Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter and St Paul, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Brogdale is about 1 mile south-west of Preston, in Kent. Jobs in Brogdale get the same care as everywhere else we work: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. We cover 922 towns and villages across Kent. We also work in Chelmsford, around 34 miles away.

Looking after it afterwards
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. Our tips:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
Do you need external mastic in Brogdale?
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
Look out for any of the following:
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
For landlords with property near Faversham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What affects the cost of external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The size of the job
- Working hours on commercial sites
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, as water and mould keep getting in. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What’s wrong with the joints now
Every job is quoted individually, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details and send photos if you have them.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
