External & façade joints in Eridge Green, Kent
Our applicators work in Eridge Green on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and every job guaranteed for a year.
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost near the open joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Eridge Green can have timber 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, so tell us about everything that needs sealing. We will give you a clear quote for the lot.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Eridge Green
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. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint doesn’t stand out. We work on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Eridge Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly where it can be done safely.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.

What external mastic looks like in Eridge Green
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Groombridge Place (about 1.9 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Eridge Green has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Eridge station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

I let a flat near Eridge station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Eridge Green in your area for external mastic?

Will the new joint stand out?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We choose the closest to your brick or render so it does not stand out.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.

Yes. Just list everything you need and we’ll quote it together.
What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.

Do you need external mastic in Eridge Green?
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Look out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Homes close to Holy Trinity Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Eridge Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote is simple: let us know the job and the location, and roughly how big it is. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we’ll take it from there.
Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Check external joints each spring
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Act on the first splits you see
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
