External mastic in Temple Hill, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Temple Hill, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. Common call-outs are for movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints.
Around Temple Hill, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Leaks normally start at a gutter end, a garage door frame or where an extension meets the house.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Temple Hill and everywhere else we cover.

What else we do in Temple Hill
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. The main things that affect it are:
- Access and height
- The number of rooms or windows
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- When we can work, for business premises
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Roughly how big the job is
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Whether it has been sealed before
For a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us where the job is and what the problem looks like. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
What happens on the day
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Parking around Temple Hill is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky

External mastic in Temple Hill: local notes
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Hall Place and Gardens (about 2.8 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Temple Hill 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.
Letting a property close to Dartford station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to St Edmunds Church include some older properties, and 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 Temple Hill Primary Academy, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Temple Hill is about 1 mile north of Dartford, in Kent. Across the DA1 area, we cover external mastic for homes and businesses. Our area takes in 922 places across Kent. London is on our list too, around 14 miles away.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Where a frame or panel meets masonry, water often finds a way in. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work in Temple Hill
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Act on the first splits you see
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Questions from Temple Hill
Do you work for landlords with property near Dartford station?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Temple Hill in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Temple Hill is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
Will there be a smell?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Opening a window helps.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. Just list everything you need.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, every time. New sealant won’t bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do I have to be there?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
Do you use backing rod?
Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth of the sealant and stops it sticking to the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
