What external mastic looks like in Willington
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Stoneacre (about 0.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Willington has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Rented homes near Bearsted station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. In the older streets around St Martin's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

About our external mastic in Willington
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. Common call-outs are for panel joints letting water in and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, on copings & trims, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
In and around Willington, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.

Common problems we fix in Willington
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
The problems people normally mention when they call are:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
Managing a site like Senacre Wood Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The amount of work
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Try to tell us:
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the property is
- How we’d reach the joints
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a smaller place like Willington, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit

Do you take out the old sealant first?

Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check external joints each spring
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Have failed joints looked at early
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
Can I do it myself?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
