The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. In a small place like Twineham Green, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

External mastic in Twineham Green
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you have movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and water getting into walls through failed joints, we can put it right.
Around Twineham Green, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What else we do in Twineham Green
Keeping the joints in good condition
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They must stay as flexible joints, never rendered or pointed over.
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.
DIY versus a professional finish
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Outside joints around Twineham Green
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Ockenden Manor (about 3.8 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Twineham Green 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.
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you let a flat or house near Burgess Hill station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Do you need external mastic in Twineham Green?
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Managing a site like Twineham CofE Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What guarantee comes with the work
- What happens if the job turns out different
- What preparation is included
Why deal with it now?
Low-modulus sealants stretch easily, so they put less strain on the joint edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. Too stiff a sealant can pull at the edges and break them. Around Twineham Green, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Common questions in Twineham Green
I let a flat near Burgess Hill station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we will give you a fixed price before we start.
Do you cover Twineham Green for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Twineham Green is part of that. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. It all has to come out first.
Does someone need to be in?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How long should I leave it?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint.
