How we handle external mastic in Queen Street
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, across brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Queen Street, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Queen Street and everywhere else we cover.

FAQs for Queen Street
Do you cover smaller places like Queen Street?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Paddock Wood station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear price.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies from wall to wall: sunny, exposed elevations and busy joints wear faster. Check them each year and reseal when they split or harden. Our work comes with a one-year guarantee.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we will explain our choice.
What does external mastic cost?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
What external mastic looks like in Queen Street
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Rented homes near Paddock Wood station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Paddock Wood Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Related advice
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like Queen Street, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it before the bead.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
For landlords and businesses
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
