External mastic for homes and businesses in Jevington
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. 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 are often asked to deal with plants rooting in failed movement joints and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, on façade panels, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Jevington is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Why act early in Jevington
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Jevington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Leaving a failed joint generally makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a quote.

Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
The process
On the day, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. We protect the surfaces around the joints before we start. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Jevington, 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.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Outside joints around Jevington
Jevington is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Rented homes near Polegate station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Andrew, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Willingdon Community School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

When something else is needed
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- 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.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
What affects the cost of external mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We look at:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The amount of work
- The product the joint needs
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first.
Asking for a quote
To make quoting easier, let us know:
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Where the property is
Every job is quoted individually, so the first step is telling us about yours. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Common questions in Jevington
Do you cover smaller places like Jevington?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is external mastic in a coastal place like Jevington any different?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No, not if it’s a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose and can lead to cracking. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. We’re an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can confirm the details when we quote.
Will it make a mess?
Tidy work is part of the job. We protect what’s around the joints.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises. We can talk about working times when we quote.
