How we handle external mastic in Kettle Corner
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product. We work on concrete & block, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are water getting into walls through failed joints and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant.
Older homes in small places like Kettle Corner may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

Why act early in Kettle Corner
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Kettle Corner, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email for an honest opinion and a quote.

Your questions about external mastic in Kettle Corner
Do you cover smaller places like Kettle Corner?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you cover Kettle Corner for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Kettle Corner is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, and we never do. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured for every job we do.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Kettle Corner buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 4.7 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Kettle Corner 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.
For landlords with property near East Farleigh station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Schools such as Barming Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

What we cannot put right
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you do not need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Kettle Corner, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so preparation is key. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
