External mastic in Nutbourne
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. We work on copings & trims, façade panels and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are water getting into walls through failed joints and weeds or debris growing in open joints.
Older homes in small places like Nutbourne may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, large or small.

When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
What the job involves on each surface
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 where it can be done safely.
Cladding and façade panels
Metal and composite panels move a lot with temperature, so the joint sealant has to cope with frequent movement. We choose the product to suit.
Walls and rooflines in Nutbourne
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Old Place Manor (about 1.8 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Nutbourne 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.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Schools such as West Chiltington Community Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Your questions about external mastic in Nutbourne
Is Nutbourne within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will send you a clear quote.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We have worked for hotels, offices and other businesses.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No, it will not last. It may look fine at first, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. More than one area can go on one quote.
Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with our work in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.
When to call us in Nutbourne
Every building moves. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. We can quote for more than one property at once.
Keeping the joints in good condition
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal.
How the visit works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. After a quick look at the joints together, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Nutbourne, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
