About our external mastic in Chithurst
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 cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and failed sealant between panels on a façade, on joints between brick and frames, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Chithurst, 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.
You are covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything is not right with it, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Check external joints each spring
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, generally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use or an approved alternative. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant if the joint can be cleared.
Should I try it myself first?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If we find something unexpected, we talk it through with you first. After that, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Chithurst, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention any parking rules near the property

Why deal with it now?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last. Older cottages and farmhouses around Chithurst can have timber 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 not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things sealant will not fix:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What external mastic looks like in Chithurst
With historic houses such as Cowdray House (about 3.1 miles east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Chithurst 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Homes close to Chithurst Church include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Liphook station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Common problems we fix in Chithurst
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Common reasons people contact us are:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
If you look after a building such as Stedham Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.

Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.

How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
