About our external mastic in Burgh Hill
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall so the joint does not stand out. Typical jobs include old sealant gone brittle and cracked and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, across copings & trims, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
In a village or hamlet like Burgh Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Walls and rooflines in Burgh Hill
Historic houses like Bateman's (about 3.8 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Burgh Hill has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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 an older house near a landmark such as Holy Trinity, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Rented homes near Etchingham station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Schools such as Etchingham Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

We work for letting agents and landlords as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we have said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The type of sealant required
- Working hours on commercial sites
- The number of rooms or windows
- Whether the work is at height
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- How we’d reach the joints
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- If someone has resealed it before
We quote each job on its own, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details, and photos are welcome.
The process
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and clear up. It generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Burgh Hill needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- 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
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

What happens if it’s left?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Around Burgh Hill, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Doing several joints on one visit usually makes better use of the time than several visits. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes, every time. New sealant will not bond properly to old, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Should I try DIY first?
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.
