External mastic in Upper Horsebridge, done properly
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We take the old material out and do it properly. If you are dealing with gaps where render, brick and frames meet and weeds or debris growing in open joints, we can help, on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and concrete & block alike.
Homes around Upper Horsebridge range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
All our work is covered by a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in East Sussex.

How we quote for external mastic
Call for a quick quote. What matters most is:
- The product the joint needs
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The type of property
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. We recommend:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Walls and rooflines in Upper Horsebridge
With historic houses such as Horselunges Manor (about 0.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Upper Horsebridge as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Horselunges Manor, about 0.6 miles north-west, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Upper Horsebridge. For landlords with property near Polegate station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Hawkes Farm Academy, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What’s near Upper Horsebridge
Around Upper Horsebridge, our work takes us to homes and buildings near The Grenadier pub and Hailsham Community College, among other places.

What happens if it’s left?
Pointing a movement joint with mortar might seem a neat fix, but it stops the joint moving. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. In a smaller place like Upper Horsebridge, wherever a wall is exposed, a failed outside joint is a real source of damp. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
A failed joint rarely gets cheaper to fix by waiting, because water and mould keep working on it. If you’re not sure whether it needs doing, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

Where is Mr Mastic based?

What information do you need?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies from wall to wall: joints on exposed walls or with a lot of movement age sooner. A yearly look will tell you when they need doing. Our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Do you work at height?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we will confirm the access.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured for every job we do.
When something else is needed
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
How the visit works
Every visit runs the same way: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Parking around Upper Horsebridge is usually easier than in a town centre, but mention any lanes, gates or long drives. For outside work, side access and the height of the joints help us plan.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
