External mastic in Buxted, done properly
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we do not skip that step. We work on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims, and the jobs we see most are brick movement joints where the sealant has split and old sealant gone brittle and cracked.
Somewhere as small as Buxted, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first. Surfaces next to the work are protected before work begins. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Buxted, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Outside joints around Buxted
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Buxted station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Buxted CofE Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

In hotels, rooms out of use cost money, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod.
Leave it or put it right?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer can’t bond properly to old, weathered material, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Buxted can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
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.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Buxted
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
In the older streets around Church of St Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
