Outside joints around Hurst Green
Historic houses like Bateman's (about 4.4 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Hurst Green has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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.
If you look after a building such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. If you live in an older home near Holy Trinity, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. Rented homes near Etchingham station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Hurst Green
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. Common call-outs are for weathered mastic that no longer stretches and damp patches traced to an open external joint, on copings & trims, façade panels and concrete & block.
Somewhere as small as Hurst Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.

Can you do external mastic in Hurst Green?

Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We will ask anything else we need to know.
How long does external mastic last?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Will you leave a mess?
No. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
When is the sealant fully cured?
It depends on the product and the conditions. Before we leave, we will tell you the cure time.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hurst Green, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Hurst Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so we quote each one individually. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
