Wilsley Pound External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homes and businesses in Wilsley Pound and across Kent. ARBOMaster approved applicators, fully insured, with a one-year guarantee.

- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
When to call us in Wilsley Pound
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Homes close to Church of the Holy Trinity include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.
Questions to ask before you book
- What product goes in the joint
- What insurance they hold
- How long the guarantee is
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
External mastic for homes and businesses in Wilsley Pound
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where mortar or filler would crack. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and concrete & block, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
Around Wilsley Pound, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.

FAQs for Wilsley Pound
Will you come out to Wilsley Pound?
Yes, Wilsley Pound is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Can you do external mastic in Wilsley Pound?
Yes, Wilsley Pound is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we are part of it.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Bigger jobs take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
What we can’t put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Walls and rooflines in Wilsley Pound
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Cranbrook 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. If you let a flat or house near Staplehurst station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Why deal with it now?
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Wilsley Pound can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, 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.
