What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Damp that is not coming from the joint

External mastic in Wittersham
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We are often asked to deal with sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, on concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Wittersham is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What external mastic looks like in Wittersham
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. Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 1.6 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Wittersham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Rye station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Parish Church of St John the Baptist, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Wittersham Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly and renew it when it starts to fail.
Will the new joint stand out?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render so it doesn’t stand out.
Do you use backing rod?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back, so the joint can move.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Is there any odour?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little.
How long will you be here?
It depends on the size of the job, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We will tell you when we quote.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we don’t rush it. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Wittersham needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- 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.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Tell us if parking is tricky

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Wittersham
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can go on one quote.
Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
