Curteis' Corner External Mastic
Professional external mastic in and around Curteis' Corner, with old sealant always removed completely and a 12-month guarantee.
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
External mastic in Curteis' Corner
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two where mortar or filler would crack. If you have failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can help, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and concrete & block alike.
Somewhere as small as Curteis' Corner, 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.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Curteis' Corner as everywhere else we work.

What external mastic looks like in Curteis' Corner
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Homes close to Parish Church of All Saints include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two so the movement is taken up.
What we do, step by step
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Curteis' Corner, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
Why act early in Curteis' Corner
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Curteis' Corner can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts.

Signs you need external mastic in Curteis' Corner
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar. The joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Managing a site like John Mayne Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Common questions in Curteis' Corner
Will you come out to Curteis' Corner?
Yes. Curteis' Corner is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Headcorn station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Will the new joint stand out?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. We will talk through colour options before any work starts.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding so the bead can stretch.
What affects the cost of external mastic
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- The size of the job
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:
- The problem you’ve noticed
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- If someone has resealed it before
- Roughly how big the job is
