About our external mastic in Broyle Side
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. If you are dealing with joints with sealant missing in places and panel joints letting water in, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Broyle Side 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.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard.

Signs you need external mastic in Broyle Side
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
If you look after a building such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broyle Side
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together and it means sorting access once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Broyle Side can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. The price is agreed before we begin.

Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.
Broyle Side buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Glyndebourne (about 1.7 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Broyle Side 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.
For landlords with property near Glynde station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
