External mastic in Hampers Green: local notes
With historic houses such as Petworth House (about 0.6 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hampers Green as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Letting a property close to Pulborough station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Petworth Cof E Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near The Church of St Mary the Virgin, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

External mastic in Hampers Green
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, and when it fails, the wall takes the strain and water finds a way in. We work on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and façade panels, and people most often call us about failed sealant between panels on a façade and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
Somewhere as small as Hampers 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits help new joints last longer. Our tips:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage which cost more to put right than the joint.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Questions from Hampers Green
Can you do external mastic in Hampers Green?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Hampers Green is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can go on one quote. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything isn’t right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We are approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is it messy?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we tidy up before we go.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
Should I try DIY first?
That depends on the joint. Work at height, movement joints, fire-rated gaps and large areas are best left to a professional, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Hampers Green
From a single let to a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Hampers Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It will not solve:
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Copings & trims
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Concrete & block
- Render & cladding joints
What affects the quote in Hampers Green
There’s no set price list, because no two jobs are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether the work is at height
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many areas need sealing
- Which sealant suits the joint
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we will explain what it covers.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The address or postcode of the job
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
We do not publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To get started, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
