North Street questions
Can you do external mastic in North Street?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and North Street is part of that. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you work for landlords with property near Faversham station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
What sealant do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we’ll tell you what we are using.
Is it messy?
We keep the work tidy. Nearby surfaces are protected.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
How we handle external mastic in North Street
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we do not skip that step. If you have rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like North Street, 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.

What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think.

- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Landlords, agents and businesses in North Street
If you manage several properties in or around North Street, several properties can be quoted together. Just tell us the addresses and what each one needs, and pictures by email help.
Letting agents and landlords in North Street can book us as well as householders. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
North Street buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Belmont House and Gardens (about 2 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around North Street has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Schools such as Sheldwich Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Signs you need external mastic in North Street
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Panel joints letting water in
Homes close to Church of St James include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Why act early in North Street
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. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like North Street, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like North Street needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
