What affects the quote in Marley
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The product the joint needs
- The size of the job
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

External mastic in Marley
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can put it right.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Marley is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.

Questions from Marley
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Marley?
Yes. Marley is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, wherever you are.
What should I tell you?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. Then call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Marley, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Marley buildings and the weather
Marley is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Augustine, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Northbourne 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 Sandwich station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Can I do it myself?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into 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.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Why it’s worth doing now in Marley
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Around Marley, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
We don’t show prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
