External & façade joints in Nash, Kent
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for householders, landlords and businesses in Nash. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
How we handle external mastic in Nash
For buildings in Nash, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. Typical jobs include brick movement joints where the sealant has split and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, on render & cladding joints, façade panels and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Nash, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

Outside joints around Nash
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Nash as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of 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 live in an older home near Elmstone Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Around Nash

What we are called out for in Nash
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
The most common problems we see are:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Letting a property close to Adisham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- What product goes in the joint
- How hidden problems are handled
- Whether you can choose the colour
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
When something else is needed
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Nash needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Advice
Common questions in Nash
Will you come out to Nash?
Yes, Nash is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you do external mastic in Nash?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Nash is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes, often. Several properties can go on one quote.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
That depends on the building and the joints. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
Is it messy?
Not at all. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. In a small place like Nash, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
