How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.
External mastic in Oare
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and façade panels, and people most often call us about old sealant gone brittle and cracked and weeds or debris growing in open joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Oare is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Oare and across Kent.

What we do, step by step
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we’ll get on with it. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. Somewhere as small as Oare, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints

Outside joints around Oare
Oare 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. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 4.3 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Oare as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Davington Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Letting a property close to Faversham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Oare is about 1 mile north of Faversham, in Kent. Jobs in Oare get the same care as everywhere else we work: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a one-year guarantee. We cover 922 towns and villages across Kent, large and small. Chelmsford is on our list too, around 33 miles away.
Our applicators cover all of the ME13 postcode area for external mastic. Streets in the area include The Street, Church Road and Russell Place. We also cover the places around Oare: Davington (1 mile south), The Brents (1 mile south-east), Uplees (1 mile north-west), Faversham (1 mile south) and Four Oaks (1 mile south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Ashford (13 miles south), Canterbury (9 miles east), Sittingbourne (6 miles west), Whitstable (7 miles east), Herne Bay (11 miles east) and Minster (7 miles north-west).
Near you in Oare
We work in homes and buildings around Oare Meadow, Three Mariners Inn and Queen Elizabeth's Grammar School and the streets around them. Oare’s nearest station is Faversham station, about 1.4 miles south-east of the centre. A little further out are Newnham Castle (4.5 miles south-west).
Common problems we fix in Oare
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Should I try it myself first?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions.
Why it’s worth doing now in Oare
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. In a small place like Oare, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Combining jobs into one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.

Your questions about external mastic in Oare
Does living near the coast affect external mastic in Oare?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Will you come out to Oare?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Does someone need to be in?
For indoor joints, yes, someone needs to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Do you use backing rod?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
