About our external mastic in Mount Pleasant
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render. If you are dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Around Mount Pleasant, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
Every job is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Do you need external mastic in Mount Pleasant?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Rented homes near Minster station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Common questions in Mount Pleasant
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Mount Pleasant any different?
Near the coast, wind-driven rain and, nearer the shore, salt air make outside sealant work harder. Choosing the right sealant for the frame and wall, laid at the right depth, helps it last.
Do you work for landlords with property near Minster station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear quote.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so the joint between them must be flexible. The sealant is matched to both sides.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before any work starts.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
Our base is Crawley. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you cover Mount Pleasant?
Yes. We are based in Crawley and work across South East England, London and Scotland, and that includes Mount Pleasant.
Is it worth trying it myself?
You can, for simple jobs. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Mount Pleasant, 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
What external mastic looks like in Mount Pleasant
Mount Pleasant is close to 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Minster Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to St Mildreds Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

What happens if it’s left?
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Mount Pleasant, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, 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 about the job first and agree the price before starting.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
