External mastic in Warningcamp, done properly
Movement joints let brickwork, render and cladding expand and shrink without cracking. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and joints with sealant missing in places, we can help, on façade panels, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints alike.
Older homes in small places like Warningcamp may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover.

What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is normally a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking.
When will the joints need doing again?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly.
Do you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Give us some details and we will confirm the access.

What sealant work cannot fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you are not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, you get the same standard of work: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Warningcamp
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Older cottages and farmhouses around Warningcamp can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That is why we ask about the job first and give you a clear quote before we start.

What external mastic looks like in Warningcamp
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Ecclesden Manor (about 2.8 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Warningcamp 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.
Letting a property close to Arundel station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. Managing a site like The Littlehampton Academy? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Historic houses such as Ecclesden Manor, about 2.8 miles south-east, show how far back building around Warningcamp goes.

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant in a colour to suit the brick.
