External mastic in Yopps Green, done properly
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. Typical jobs include sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and concrete & block.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Yopps Green is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that is not coming from the joint

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so there are no surprises. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Yopps Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Yopps Green
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Around Yopps Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.

FAQs for Yopps Green
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Borough Green & Wrotham station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Will you come out to Yopps Green?
Yes, Yopps Green is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose, and the wall may crack nearby. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Do you use backing rod?
We fit closed-cell backing rod wherever the joint depth needs controlling. It sets the sealant depth and prevents three-sided bonding so the bead can stretch.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Yopps Green buildings and the weather
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 Old Soar Manor (about 1.1 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Yopps Green 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.
Managing a site like Plaxtol Primary School? Then 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 Borough Green & Wrotham station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Homes close to Plaxtol Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
