How we handle external mastic in Kent Street
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’s needed to reach them safely. We are often asked to deal with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, across render & cladding joints, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Kent Street is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Kent Street questions
Do you cover Kent Street for external mastic?
Yes, Kent Street is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Kent Street?
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.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are an ARBOMaster approved applicator, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Where do you work from?
We’re based in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
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.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. We will confirm how long when we quote.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
The face of concrete or block is often dusty, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
How the visit works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we’re working on. The job usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere like Kent Street needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about parking restrictions
Getting a quote
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email photos if that’s easy.

External mastic in Kent Street: local notes
Historic houses like Old Soar Manor (about 2.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Kent Street has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Kings Hill School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Wateringbury station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For an older house near a landmark such as St Lawrence's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kent Street
Resealing a run of joints in one go is generally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way. In a small place like Kent Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What you pay reflects the work, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
Why book with us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Arbo and Everbuild products
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we will quote.
Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
