External mastic for homes and businesses in Fairseat
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block, and the jobs we see most are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints with sealant missing in places.
In a village or hamlet like Fairseat, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

Why act early in Fairseat
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. In a small place like Fairseat, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

The process
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Fairseat, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Fairseat buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Old Soar Manor (about 4.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fairseat as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Schools such as Wrotham School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint

Your questions about external mastic in Fairseat
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you do external mastic in Fairseat?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Fairseat is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used before we leave.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, because it fails. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new joint bonds to clean surfaces.
What should I tell you?
Tell us what needs doing and where, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Can I do it myself?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Do you need external mastic in Fairseat?
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
For an older house near a landmark such as Holy Innocents, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- Who turns up on the day
- Whether you can choose the colour
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
