Common problems we fix in Upper Beeding
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
Homes close to The Parish Church of St Peter include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
Questions to ask before booking
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- How long to leave it before use
- How long the guarantee is
About our external mastic in Upper Beeding
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Upper Beeding, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on façade panels, brickwork movement joints and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about panel joints letting water in and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Upper Beeding is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months.

What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking and needs a flexible seal, not mortar.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Only a few details: where it is, what you’ve noticed and how we reach it. After that, simply phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes, we can. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
When is the sealant fully cured?
That depends on the sealant used, so follow the cure time we give you.
Will there be a smell?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
What sealant do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. Resealing the joints early keeps water out and helps it last.
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Have failed joints looked at early
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.

Outside joints around Upper Beeding
London and the South East are among 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 Portslade Manor (about 4.6 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Upper Beeding has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For landlords with property near Shoreham-By-Sea station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Upper Beeding Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Upper Beeding needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Clear the area around the work

Should I try it myself first?
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
