Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Do I need to be at home?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. Once we’ve agreed the job, you don’t need to watch us work.
Where are you based?

Can tenants book the work?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What does external mastic cost?

External mastic in Capel, done properly
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint doesn’t stand out. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Capel is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or email us.

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Capel buildings and the weather
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.
In the older streets around Church of St Thomas à Becket, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to Paddock Wood station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Capel Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Why act early in Capel
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Capel can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Capel, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Let us know about parking restrictions
