External mastic in Woolpack Corner, done properly
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing, and we don’t skip that step. We’re often asked to deal with weathered mastic that no longer stretches and joints with sealant missing in places, across joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Older homes in small places like Woolpack Corner may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Big or small, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Woolpack Corner, 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.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

Advice
Outside joints around Woolpack Corner
Historic houses like Smallhythe Place (about 5 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Woolpack Corner 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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as John Mayne Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Headcorn station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Parish Church of All Saints, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Your questions about external mastic in Woolpack Corner
Will you come out to Woolpack Corner?
Yes, Woolpack Corner 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 cover Woolpack Corner for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Woolpack Corner is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Woolpack Corner and the rest of Kent.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What information do you need?
Tell us what needs doing and where. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
Why it’s worth doing now in Woolpack Corner
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. In a small place like Woolpack Corner, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, as water and mould keep getting in. If you’re unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

DIY versus a professional finish
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.

Aftercare tips
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best year round.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
