How to look after the new joints
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.

The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, regularly. Several properties can be quoted together, and between tenancies is a good time for the work.
How long does the job take?
That depends on the amount of work, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll tell you when we quote.

What external mastic looks like in Little Conghurst
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Great Dixter (about 3.9 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Little Conghurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Hawkhurst Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Etchingham station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

When to call us in Little Conghurst
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has generally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
People usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you live in an older home near Church of All Saints, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- How much experience the applicator has
- What insurance they hold
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Little Conghurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That’s why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Send us any details you have about the façade.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
