Do you need external mastic in Milton Regis?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Look out for any of the following:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
Managing a site like Sunny Bank Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Milton Regis
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Typical jobs include sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and damp patches traced to an open external joint, across render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Milton Regis is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

External mastic in Milton Regis: local notes
Milton Regis is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Sittingbourne station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. In the older streets around Church of All Saints, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

How we quote for external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:

- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Roughly how big the job is
- Where the property is
- The problem you’ve noticed
- Whether it’s a home or a business
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Simply phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and describe the job, and photos are welcome.
Common questions in Milton Regis
Will you come out to Milton Regis?
Yes. Milton Regis 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.
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Milton Regis?
Coastal homes put outside sealant through more weather than inland ones, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are generally the first to need attention.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height, and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and you will get one quote.
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. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Milton Regis can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.

Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it 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.

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- 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, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
