External & façade joints in Snodland, Kent
We cover Snodland for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
External mastic in Snodland
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the line blends in. If you have leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can help, whatever the surface.
Houses in smaller places like Snodland can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, and walls and rooflines facing the weather take the worst of it. Joints on those sides are normally the first to go.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Snodland as everywhere else we work.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.

Your questions about external mastic in Snodland
Is Snodland within the area you cover?
Yes, Snodland is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Snodland station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
Which products do you use?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference, and we will explain our choice.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Is it worth trying it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides so it can flex with the joint.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Snodland?
We do not publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. You will get a clear quote before we start.
Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

How it works
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking around Snodland is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Snodland buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Starkey Castle (about 2.5 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Snodland has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
Letting a property close to Snodland station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Homes close to Church of the New Jerusalem include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Snodland CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
