External mastic in Glyndebourne, done properly
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and weathered mastic that no longer stretches.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Glyndebourne is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in Glyndebourne and everywhere else we cover.

What external mastic looks like in Glyndebourne
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Glyndebourne (about 0.1 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Glyndebourne as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Ringmer Primary and Nursery School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Glyndebourne is about 3 miles east of Lewes, in East Sussex.

Why it’s worth doing now in Glyndebourne
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. They’ve weathered the same way. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Glyndebourne, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

FAQs for Glyndebourne
Do you cover smaller places like Glyndebourne?
Yes. Glyndebourne is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do external mastic in Glyndebourne?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Glyndebourne is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. We cut out the old sealant, prepare both faces and reseal with a flexible exterior product. The colour is chosen to suit.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Will the new joint stand out?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We’ll talk through colour options before work begins, matched as closely as the range allows.
What is a movement joint?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, and planned joints take up that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure. Opening a window helps.
What we are called out for in Glyndebourne
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
Rented homes near Glynde station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs the same way: we check the joints, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Glyndebourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep children and pets away from the work area

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Point out the joints to other trades
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
