How we handle external mastic in St Nicholas at Wade
For buildings in St Nicholas at Wade, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. If you’re dealing with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints alike.
Older homes in small places like St Nicholas at Wade may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All our work is covered by our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

Do you need external mastic in St Nicholas at Wade?
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has generally failed or was never there. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and speed up the damage.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
Letting a property close to Birchington-On-Sea station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere as small as St Nicholas at Wade, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly where it can be done safely.

Why deal with it now?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like St Nicholas at Wade, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

St Nicholas at Wade: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like St Nicholas at Wade?
Yes. St Nicholas at Wade is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the coastal weather in St Nicholas at Wade affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
What should I tell you?
Let us know what needs doing and where. If we need more, we’ll ask.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can go on one quote, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Have failed joints looked at early
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
Walls and rooflines in St Nicholas at Wade
St Nicholas at Wade is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. With historic houses such as Quex Park (about 3 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around St Nicholas at Wade 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.
In the older streets around Church of Saint Nicholas, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Nicholas At Wade Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
