Leave it or put it right?
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. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Around Lower Horsebridge, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. The price is agreed before we begin.
Why us?
- Old sealant always removed completely
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- White, clear, grey or coloured to suit, where the product allows
How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so there’s nothing for you to buy. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Lower Horsebridge needs a little journey planning: 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.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the work
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What affects the quote in Lower Horsebridge
You’ll get a clear quote before work begins. It takes into account:
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The product the joint needs
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: how much there is to do, how we reach it and what it needs. Call for a quick quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, have a think about:
- What’s wrong with the joints now

DIY versus a professional finish
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
What external mastic looks like in Lower Horsebridge
Historic houses like Horselunges Manor (about 0.6 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Lower Horsebridge has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you let a flat or house near Polegate station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Hellingly Community Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Well-known places in the area include Herstmonceux Castle (4.5 miles east) and Hellingly Hospital Railway (1.1 miles north-east).
Do you need external mastic in Lower Horsebridge?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
The most common problems we see are:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
In the older streets around Zoar Strict Baptist Chapel, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
