- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In an older home around Foley Park, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, which is far harder to put right than the sealant itself.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

About our external mastic in Foley Park
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. If you have sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can help.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Foley Park add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

FAQs for Foley Park
I let a flat near Maidstone East station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Foley Park?
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 seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
Is it messy?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
How long does the job take?
Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Larger jobs naturally take longer.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. Cement or mortar can’t stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
Do you need external mastic in Foley Park?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Failed seals between different materials
- Panel joints letting water in
Managing a site like St Paul's Infant School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Questions to ask before you book

- Is the old sealant removed completely?

What happens on the day
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. A visit to Foley Park is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

External mastic in Foley Park: local notes
