External mastic for homes and businesses in Berwick
Many failed façade joints only get noticed once there’s a stain or a damp patch inside. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant. If you have rigid filler in a joint that should flex and water getting into walls through failed joints, we can help, on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and copings & trims alike.
Around Berwick, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

Why it’s worth doing now in Berwick
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Berwick, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why book with us
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Quality sealants from Arbo and Everbuild
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas

What we are called out for in Berwick
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Whether you can choose the colour
- What the cure time is
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Can I do it myself?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: old sealant fully removed, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee.
In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Common questions in Berwick
I let a flat near Berwick (Sussex) station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before work begins.
Is Berwick in your area for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Berwick is part of that. You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing.
Will there be a smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
Can I do it myself?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges and have them redone then.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Just the basics: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we’re working on. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. Somewhere as small as Berwick, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
Getting a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job.
Advice
Outside joints around Berwick
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. With historic houses such as Charleston Farmhouse (about 2.2 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Berwick as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Berwick (Sussex) station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
