How we handle external mastic in Statenborough
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. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Statenborough is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What affects the quote in Statenborough
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How much there is to do
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether the work is at height
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What we need to know
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
Getting a quote is simple: let us know what needs doing and where. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we will come back to you with a quote.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Around Statenborough, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.
Why us?
- Colour agreed with you before any work starts
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Approved under the ARBOMaster scheme
Your questions about external mastic in Statenborough
Do you cover smaller places like Statenborough?
Yes. Statenborough is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Sandwich station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. New silicone won’t bond to old silicone, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Do you use backing rod?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.

When something else is needed
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. It usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Statenborough, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. We choose the product to suit.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap so the sealant isn’t too deep.
For landlords and businesses
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can go on one quote, and we are fully insured for the work.
Letting agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and the access arrangements and we’ll quote.
External mastic in Statenborough: local notes
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 4.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Statenborough as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Sandwich Technology School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Sandwich station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around Church of St George, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
