External mastic in Pollhill, done properly
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for failed sealant between panels on a façade and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and copings & trims.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Pollhill is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.

- How easy the joints are to reach
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check external joints each spring
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
DIY versus a professional finish
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.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
How the job changes by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Pollhill, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

When it is not the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Pollhill buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Leeds Castle (about 1.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Pollhill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Harrietsham Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Harrietsham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Catholic Church of the Good Shepherd, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
