External Mastic in Wierton
Problem with your movement joints in Wierton? We remove the old material, prepare the joints and seal them properly, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
External mastic in Wierton, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. Common call-outs are for moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and façade panels.
Somewhere as small as Wierton, 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.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Wierton and across Kent.

Landlord and commercial work in Wierton
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll give you a quote.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The work normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on how much there is to do. For a village or hamlet like Wierton, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Advice
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.

Common questions in Wierton
Will you come out to Wierton?
Yes, Wierton is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Staplehurst station?
Yes. We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Where are you based?
Our base is Crawley, with over 20 years’ experience. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
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.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the height and the site. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher work, tell us about the building and we will confirm what’s needed.
Do you use backing rod?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides.
Common problems we fix in Wierton
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
The most common problems we see are:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Rented homes near Staplehurst station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wierton can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re unsure, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Outside joints around Wierton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Stoneacre (about 2.5 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wierton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Boughton Monchelsea Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around Church of St Peter, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years.
