Outside joints around Stockland Green
Historic houses like Penshurst Place (about 2.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Stockland Green 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. 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.
Schools such as Speldhurst Church of England Voluntary Aided Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to High Brooms station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Stockland Green
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. Common call-outs are for water getting into walls through failed joints and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Stockland Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.

Landlord and commercial work in Stockland Green
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.
DIY versus a professional finish
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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.
FAQs for Stockland Green
I let a flat near High Brooms station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Is Stockland Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Stockland Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Do I need to be at home?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
How long does external mastic take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
Will it make a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Will the new joint stand out?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We pick the one that suits your wall best.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
How the job changes by surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
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 in a colour to suit the brick.
What we can’t put right
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What happens on the day
Most of a good job is in the preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Stockland Green, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
