- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Panel joints letting water in
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. Typically it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a smaller place like Meopham, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Advice
External mastic in Meopham
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 in a colour to suit. If you are dealing with panel joints letting water in and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Houses in smaller places like Meopham can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. That’s where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Should I try it myself first?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a smaller place like Meopham, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.

Common problems we fix in Meopham
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Failed seals between different materials
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
If you live in an older home near Parish Church of St John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Before you book anyone
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- How long the guarantee is
- Is VAT in the price?

What affects the quote in Meopham
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
- How much there is to do
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The address or postcode of the job

- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job.
External mastic in Meopham: local notes
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Cobham College (about 1.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Meopham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Letting a property close to Meopham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Schools such as Meopham Community Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Point out the joints to other trades
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
