External Mastic in Daniel's Water

Do you need external mastic in Daniel's Water?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
For landlords with property near Pluckley station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How we handle external mastic in Daniel's Water
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. If you have cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can put it right.
Around Daniel's Water, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Daniel's Water, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Around Daniel's Water, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. We’ll send you a clear quote for the lot.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
What affects the quote in Daniel's Water
We don’t publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
