Signs you need external mastic in Warminghurst
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
People normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
If you let a flat or house near Pulborough station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

External mastic in Warminghurst
A movement joint is only as good as its depth. Backing rod controls how deep the sealant goes and keeps it off the back of the joint, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We work on concrete & block, façade panels and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and joints with sealant missing in places.
Older homes in small places like Warminghurst may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
All our work comes with our 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. 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 early resealing is worth it.
Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.

External mastic in Warminghurst: local notes
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 Parham House (about 3.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Warminghurst has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Ashington CofE Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Church of the Holy Sepulchre include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Can you do external mastic in Warminghurst?
Yes, Warminghurst is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Warminghurst?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we will talk you through it.
Do you work at height?
It depends on the building. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
DIY versus a professional finish
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, 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.
