About our external mastic in Stanhope
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. If you’re dealing with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help.
Houses in smaller places like Stanhope 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Kent.

What external mastic looks like in Stanhope
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. Historic houses like Godinton House (about 2.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Stanhope has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Rented homes near Ashford International station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near St. Francis, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Beaver Green Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Stanhope is about 1 mile south-west of Ashford, in Kent. Stanhope gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Stanhope is one of 922 places in Kent we cover. Our Crawley page covers work nearby, about 45 miles away.

What we do, step by step
There isn’t much for you to do on the day. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access from start to finish. In a smaller place like Stanhope, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Before we arrive
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted and spoil the finish.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
Should I try it myself first?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: 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
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.

What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. It all has to come out first.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Sometimes. The key is preparation: remove all the old material and work on a clean, dry joint. If it doesn’t work out, we can redo it.
What we cannot put right
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant won’t fix:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
