External & façade joints in Telham, East Sussex
Specialist external mastic for Telham: careful preparation, the right product and tidy work. Call for a quick quote.
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Should I try it myself first?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Telham
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing and we use one wherever it does. We’re often asked to deal with joints where the bead has come unstuck and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, across façade panels, brickwork movement joints and joints between brick and frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Telham is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
A 12-month guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

What external mastic looks like in Telham
Historic houses like Durhamford Manor (about 2.4 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Telham has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Managing a site like Claverham Community College? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Chapel of the Ascension include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Letting a property close to Battle station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What we cannot put right
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. Sealant will not put right:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal

The process
On the day, we start by going over the job with you. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Telham, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks

What the job involves on each surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Joints where frames, sills or panels meet the wall are common leak points. We cut out the old sealant and reseal with a product suited to both surfaces.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly if the joint can be cleared.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Telham
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Housing providers, facilities teams and property managers book us too. We can quote a run of properties together, and we’re fully insured.
Aftercare tips
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Check external joints each spring
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
