External mastic for homes and businesses in Goodnestone
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Goodnestone, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We are often asked to deal with movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, across render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
Older homes in small places like Goodnestone may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner so it’s worth doing right. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Goodnestone, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.

What happens on the day
On the day, we start by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Goodnestone, 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.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Your questions about external mastic in Goodnestone
I let a flat near Adisham station. Can you help?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Is Goodnestone in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Goodnestone is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, always. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months.
How long does the job take?
It depends on the size of the job, but most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will give you a better idea when we quote.
How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Sealing them early saves the wall below.
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
External mastic in Goodnestone: local notes
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 0.4 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Goodnestone as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of the Holy Cross, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Goodnestone Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Adisham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
