About our external mastic in Goose Green
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where mortar or filler would crack. Typical jobs include panel joints letting water in and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and render & cladding joints.
Somewhere as small as Goose Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional 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, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Goose Green questions
Do you cover smaller places like Goose Green?
Yes. Goose Green is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Billingshurst station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces, primed where needed.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can be quoted together.
Where are you based?
We’re a Crawley-based firm, with over 20 years’ experience. We work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do the sealants smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.

What else we do in Goose Green
What sealant work can’t fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what new sealant won’t do:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames

How we quote for external mastic
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- How much there is to do
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- The type of property
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- Whether it has been sealed before
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints, and email pictures if that’s easy.
Why it’s worth doing now in Goose Green
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Goose Green, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a quick quote, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will talk you through it.

How the visit works
Once we are on site, 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 a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Goose Green, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

Advice
How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Goose Green
Hotels need rooms back in use, 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.
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
Goose Green buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Parham House (about 4.5 miles south-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Goose 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. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Rydon Community College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around The Parish Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Letting a property close to Billingshurst station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
