External mastic in Weddington
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We work on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are plants rooting in failed movement joints and gaps where render, brick and frames meet.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Weddington is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Weddington needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
Common problems we fix in Weddington
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Failed seals between different materials
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Schools such as Ash Cartwright and Kelsey 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.

How much does external mastic cost in Weddington?
There’s no set price, as it depends on the job: its size, the old material, access and the product needed. We agree the price before any work begins.
Where are you based?
We work from Crawley. We cover Weddington and the rest of Kent, along with the rest of our area.
How long will you be here?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we’ll tell you how long to expect.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will tell you how long to leave the joint.
Outside joints around Weddington
With historic houses such as Goodnestone Park (about 3.9 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Weddington as well as newer homes. 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Rented homes near Sandwich station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What else we do in Weddington
What happens if it’s left?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In a small place like Weddington, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and protects the render itself.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Honest limits
It helps to know what we cannot do:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
