External & façade joints in Hastingleigh, Kent
Problem with your movement joints in Hastingleigh? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant.
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant if the joint can be cleared.
External mastic in Hastingleigh, done properly
Getting the depth right is half the job. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. Common call-outs are for rigid filler in a joint that should flex and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, across joints between brick and frames, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Hastingleigh, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

The process
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Hastingleigh, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires 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 any water getting in
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Why it’s worth doing now in Hastingleigh
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hastingleigh can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.
Why choose Mr Mastic in Hastingleigh
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over

- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme

How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
What external mastic looks like in Hastingleigh
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Wye station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Schools such as Bodsham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
