About our external mastic in Pickhurst
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Pickhurst, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can help, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and façade panels alike.
In a village or hamlet like Pickhurst, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

When to call us in Pickhurst
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and speed up the damage.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
Old Place Manor, about 1.2 miles south, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Pickhurst, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.
What your quote should include
- How the colour is chosen
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Are they insured?
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Once a joint cannot move, the wall finds another way, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
What happens if it’s left?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last so it’s worth doing right. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Pickhurst, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
Why us?
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- Any old sealant cut out fully, not covered over
- Over 20 years’ experience
- We leave the area clean and tidy

FAQs for Pickhurst
Can you do external mastic in Pickhurst?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Pickhurst is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover smaller places like Pickhurst?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do I have to be there?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. For inside work, that normally means someone being in.
Will there be a smell?
Some sealants have a smell while they cure, but it fades. Opening a window helps.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes. More than one area can be quoted together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Pickhurst buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Old Place Manor (about 1.2 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Pickhurst has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How the visit works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, carry out the job and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. In a small place like Pickhurst, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
