External mastic in Church Whitfield, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it and we use one wherever it does. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, across joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and façade panels.
In a village or hamlet like Church Whitfield, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Every job is covered by our 12-month guarantee.

For landlords and businesses
For anyone letting property in or around Church Whitfield, several properties can go on one quote. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and photos by email help.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
How it works
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Church Whitfield, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What we’re called out for in Church Whitfield
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
People usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Failed seals between different materials
Schools such as Whitfield Aspen School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
External mastic in Church Whitfield: local notes
Church Whitfield is within about 3 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. Historic houses like Walmer Castle (about 4.9 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Church Whitfield has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Letting a property close to Kearsney station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use or an approved alternative. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Church Whitfield: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Kearsney station?
Yes, we work for landlords and agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Church Whitfield any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before we start.
What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- If someone has resealed it before
There’s no standard price list. Instead, we give you a clear quote for your job. To get started, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
