External & façade joints in Godshill, Hampshire
We cover Godshill for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old material cut out, joints cleaned and sealed neatly.

- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
About our external mastic in Godshill
Low-level joints can generally be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. If you have damp patches traced to an open external joint and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, we can help, on façade panels, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints alike.
In a village or hamlet like Godshill, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee.

How the visit works
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Godshill needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Check external joints each spring
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Do you need external mastic in Godshill?
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The sealant never bonds properly.
These are the problems we are asked about most:
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
Managing a site like The Burgate School and Sixth Form? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- What preparation is included
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What happens if the job turns out different
Landlords, agents and businesses in Godshill
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance.
Failed sealant is one of the commonest items on a check-out report. We can quote for more than one property at once.
DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so just mention it when you contact us.
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.
What sealant work cannot fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Godshill buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Breamore House (about 2.9 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Godshill as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
In the older streets around St Giles, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
