External mastic in West Wittering, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across West Wittering, 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 copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are joints with sealant missing in places and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around West Wittering is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

When to call us in West Wittering
Joints sealed without backing rod, or far too deep, rarely last. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and rips as the joint opens.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
For an older house near a landmark such as The Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether VAT is included
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What insurance they hold
Why act early in West Wittering
Water gets in through a failed movement joint, behind render and cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like West Wittering, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Rather than a set price list, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You will know the price before we begin.

What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like West Wittering, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- 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.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Related advice
Should I try it myself first?
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, such as a straightforward joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
For landlords and businesses
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Landlords and agents in West Wittering can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What external mastic looks like in West Wittering
West Wittering is close to the coast, and homes near the sea take more wind-driven rain, with salt in the air closer to the shore. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. 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.
For landlords with property near Nutbourne station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you look after a building such as West Wittering Parochial Church of England School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
West Wittering: your questions answered
Does the coastal weather in West Wittering affect outside sealant?
Coastal weather is harder on outside sealant: there’s more wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt in the air. The right product, a clean joint and the right depth all help it cope.
Do you work for landlords with property near Nutbourne station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. ARBOMaster is the approved applicator scheme for Arbo sealants, and we’re part of it.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
