External mastic in Waterham
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We’re often asked to deal with water getting into walls through failed joints and joints where the bead has come unstuck, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Waterham is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Waterham

Why it’s worth doing now in Waterham
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. In a small place like Waterham, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why Waterham clients choose us
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Old sealant always removed completely
- One-year guarantee on every job
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

Waterham buildings and the weather
Waterham is close to the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. 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.
Schools such as Hernhill Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Whitstable station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Your questions about external mastic in Waterham
Does the coastal weather in Waterham affect outside sealant?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. It’s worth checking the walls that face the sea first.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Whitstable station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can go on one quote. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Waterham?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and let us know what needs doing and where.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
How do you reach high-level joints?
That depends on the building and the joints. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the temperature. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
