How we handle external mastic in Guestling 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 a rigid filler would soon crack. Typical jobs include movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and damp patches traced to an open external joint, across joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Guestling Green, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What happens if it’s left?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Guestling Green can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts.

Is external mastic in a coastal place like Guestling Green any different?
Near the sea, outside joints face more wind, rain and salt than they would inland, so the choice of sealant and the preparation matter even more. Walls facing the sea are normally the first to need attention.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
The process
Good joint work is mostly preparation, and we do not rush it. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Guestling 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 look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Related advice
DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
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.
Guestling Green buildings and the weather
Guestling Green is within about 2 miles of the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around St Laurence's Church, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Guestling Bradshaw Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Three Oaks station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple:
- Check external joints each spring
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Act on the first splits you see
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.

Other services in Guestling Green
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
