External Mastic in Davington
We cover Davington for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
When to call us in Davington
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Davington Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Davington
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Typical jobs include movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, on façade panels, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Homes around Davington range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Your questions about external mastic in Davington
Will you come out to Davington?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Faversham station?

Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Landlord and commercial work in Davington
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check external joints each spring
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
External mastic in Davington: local notes
Davington is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary Magdalene, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Faversham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

The process
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. A visit to Davington is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best in all weathers.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
