What we can’t put right
We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. 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. For a job in Park Wood, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

What external mastic looks like in Park Wood
Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 1.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Park Wood 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. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Tree Tops Primary Academy are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Maidstone West station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near St Martin's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Why act early in Park Wood
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last. In an older home around Park Wood, damp from a failed joint can get into timber and plaster, and that’s a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.

Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
What affects the cost of external mastic
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- The type of sealant required
- Whether the work is at height
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
