How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so a flexible sealant suits them best.
How we handle external mastic in Ticehurst
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Ticehurst, 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 movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and failed seals between different materials, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Ticehurst, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ticehurst and across East Sussex.

Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Around Ticehurst, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Is Ticehurst within the area you cover?

How do I get a quote for external mastic in Ticehurst?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote.
What should I tell you?
The location, the problem and the rough size of the job. Photos by email help too.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Most straight vertical gaps in brickwork are movement joints. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height.
Signs you need external mastic in Ticehurst
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and speed up the damage.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
For landlords with property near Stonegate station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How the visit works
When we get to you, we compare the joints with what we discussed. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Ticehurst, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in

Aftercare tips
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Act on the first splits you see
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
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.
External mastic in Ticehurst: local notes
Historic houses like Scotney Castle (about 3.2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Ticehurst 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. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Ticehurst and Flimwell Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For an older house near a landmark such as St Mary's Church, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
