External mastic in Silver Hill, done properly
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. If you are dealing with plants rooting in failed movement joints and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help, whatever the surface.
In a village or hamlet like Silver Hill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee.

External mastic in Silver Hill: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Bateman's (about 4.4 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Silver Hill 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.
Letting a property close to Etchingham station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Holy Trinity, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in contact, it helps to mention:

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
When something else is needed
We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What we seal
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels

Signs you need external mastic in Silver Hill
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Failed seals between different materials
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Hurst Green Church of England Primary School and Nursery, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- How hidden problems are handled
- Are they insured?
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
