External mastic in Herne Pound: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Old Soar Manor (about 2.5 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Herne Pound has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Wateringbury station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like Mereworth Community Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Herne Pound
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what access is needed. We’re often asked to deal with weeds or debris growing in open joints and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames.
Somewhere as small as Herne Pound, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

For landlords and businesses
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Herne Pound can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

What we are called out for in Herne Pound
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
In the older streets around St Lawrence's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
