External mastic in Tapnage, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Tapnage, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and common reasons people get in touch are failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant.
Somewhere as small as Tapnage, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months, in Tapnage and everywhere else we cover.

How the visit works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Tapnage, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- 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.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Related advice
What we’re called out for in Tapnage
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, so it pulls away from the edges.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
Letting a property close to Swanwick station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
What to look for in a quote
- How long to leave it before use
- The length of the guarantee
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
Leave it or put it right?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Tapnage, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Walls and rooflines in Tapnage
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as The Henry Cort Community College, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
