About our external mastic in Wiggonholt
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. 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’re dealing with joints where the bead has come unstuck and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Somewhere as small as Wiggonholt, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Each job carries a 12-month guarantee, whatever its size.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly if the joint can be cleared.
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. We size the backing rod to the gap so the sealant is not too deep.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wiggonholt
Resealing a run of joints in one go is generally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way and it means sorting access once. Around Wiggonholt, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

What affects the cost of external mastic
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- The number and length of the joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- A few pictures by email, if you can
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- The rough size of the job
Quotes start with a quick conversation. Describe the problem, the location and the size of the job. When it suits you, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.
Honest limits
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Advice
Outside joints around Wiggonholt
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. With historic houses such as Parham House (about 1.5 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Wiggonholt 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.
For an older house near a landmark such as Wiggonholt Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Pulborough station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Common questions in Wiggonholt
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Pulborough station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you cover Wiggonholt for external mastic?
Yes, Wiggonholt 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 you leave a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone does not stick to old silicone, so any old material comes out before anything new goes in.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re ARBOMaster approved, the scheme for applicators of Arbo sealants.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch and the joint fails. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We’ll tell you what we’re using and why.
Should I try DIY first?
For a simple, easy-to-reach joint, a careful DIYer can do a reasonable job. Most DIY failures come from sealing over old material, wet joints or too much sealant.
