External mastic for homes and businesses in Flowers Green
For buildings in Flowers Green, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on copings & trims, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are failed sealant between panels on a façade and damp patches traced to an open external joint.
In a village or hamlet like Flowers Green, 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 guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Flowers Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course

External mastic in Flowers Green: local notes
With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 3.4 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Flowers Green 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Herstmonceux Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Pevensey Bay station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Should I try it myself first?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the 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.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
How we quote for external mastic
We do not publish a price list, because jobs vary so much. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Whether the work is at height
- When we can work, for business premises
There are no prices on our website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we’ll talk you through it.

- Where the job is, and your postcode
- A few photos by email, if you can
- How we’d reach the joints

What we are called out for in Flowers Green
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Horselunges Manor, about 3.4 miles west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Flowers Green, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
Questions to ask before you book
- How long the guarantee is
- What insurance they hold
- Whether VAT is included
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal.
