External mastic for homes and businesses in Hamble-le-Rice
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and copings & trims, and the jobs we see most are failed seals between different materials and joints with sealant missing in places.
In and around Hamble-le-Rice, older properties sit alongside newer ones, each with its own outside joints. Older gutters and trims need their joints resealed; newer brick and render need their movement joints kept sound.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same 12-month guarantee.

What we do, step by step
You don’t need to clear the whole room or building, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation for a typical job. For a job in Hamble-le-Rice, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.

Advice
Outside joints around Hamble-le-Rice
Hamble-le-Rice is within about 1 mile of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. Both are hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, which can dry out and crack sooner where a building faces the weather. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Hamble Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Hamble station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Hamble-le-Rice is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Hamble-le-Rice gets the same service as everywhere we cover: old sealant removed completely, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire.

Landmarks near Hamble-le-Rice
We work in homes and buildings around The Hamble School, Hamble Common and Ye Old White Harte Public House. For rail, the closest station is Hamble station, roughly 0.8 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Coldeast (1.9 miles east) and St Andrew's Castle (0.6 miles south-east). Green spaces nearby include Mercury Marshes.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
Only paint over the joint if we’ve confirmed the sealant can take paint. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Gaps, plants or missing sealant in a joint are worth getting looked at. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
Common problems we fix in Hamble-le-Rice
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Look out for these signs:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Panel joints letting water in
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
In the older streets around Church of St Andrew, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Are they insured?
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
What we can’t put right
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
Can I do it myself?
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.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
