External mastic for homes and businesses in Paddlesworth
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Paddlesworth, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic that no longer stretches and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Paddlesworth is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
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.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Paddlesworth, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Your questions about external mastic in Paddlesworth
Is Paddlesworth in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Paddlesworth is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Do you work for landlords with property near Snodland station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
How do you reach high-level joints?
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.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. If you can, email a few pictures.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Mr Mastic is fully insured, and we have been doing sealant work for more than 20 years.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone will not bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we’re fully insured for the work.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.

Do you need external mastic in Paddlesworth?
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it can’t stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
For landlords with property near Snodland station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- Whether VAT is included
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.

Outside joints around Paddlesworth
Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 2.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Paddlesworth has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
If you look after a building such as Snodland CofE Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. In the older streets around St Benedict's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
