Patrixbourne External Mastic
Our applicators work in Patrixbourne on sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly and a one-year guarantee.
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
About our external mastic in Patrixbourne
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the line blends in. We work on façade panels, concrete & block and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and rigid filler in a joint that should flex.
Older homes in small places like Patrixbourne may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Outside joints around Patrixbourne
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 4 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Patrixbourne 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. 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. Letting a property close to Bekesbourne station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How we quote for external mastic
Your quote is based on your job. We look at:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How easy the joints are to reach
- The type of sealant required
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
Call for a quick quote, or send an email if you’d rather. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved before giving you a price.
What we’re called out for in Patrixbourne
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
People usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
If you look after a building such as Bridge and Patrixbourne Church of England Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Before booking anyone
- What product goes in the joint
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- How hidden problems are handled
- What the cure time is
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
A failed coping joint lets water into the top of the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it or an approved alternative. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as Patrixbourne, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
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.
For landlords and businesses
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room. We have worked in hotels as well as homes and businesses.
If you manage several properties in or around Patrixbourne, several properties can go on one quote. Send us the addresses and the work at each, and photos by email help.
When something else is needed
We will not take on 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
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.

Your questions about external mastic in Patrixbourne
I let a flat near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Patrixbourne?
Yes, Patrixbourne is covered. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render so the joint blends in. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Is it messy?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar can’t stretch. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
How long does the job take?
A typical job takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
