External mastic in Burwash Weald
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 in a matching colour. Common call-outs are for sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across copings & trims, façade panels and joints between brick and frames.
Older homes in small places like Burwash Weald may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Signs you need external mastic in Burwash Weald
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
For an older house near a landmark such as St Philip's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How much experience the applicator has
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Whether they’re fully insured
Keeping the joints in good condition
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Act on the first splits you see
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, usually as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Walls and rooflines in Burwash Weald
Historic houses like Bateman's (about 0.9 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Burwash Weald 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. 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.
Letting a property close to Stonegate station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

What sealant work can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.

How it works
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Burwash Weald, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What happens if it’s left?
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Around Burwash Weald, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are unsure, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone does not stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
