About our external mastic in Hinxhill
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. Common call-outs are for sealant pulling away from one side of the joint and brick movement joints where the sealant has split, across render & cladding joints, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Hinxhill is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Our work is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

How to look after the new joints
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check external joints each spring
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
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.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
How we quote for external mastic
You will get a clear quote before we start. It takes into account:
- How many areas need sealing
- Access and height
- When we can work, for business premises
- The product the joint needs
Doing several joints on one visit normally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You’ll get one clear quote for the whole job.

Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. In a small place like Hinxhill, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all make a difference, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.

Outside joints around Hinxhill
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. With historic houses such as Godinton House (about 4.3 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hinxhill as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Brook Community Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. In the older streets around Church of St Mary, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.

Signs you need external mastic in Hinxhill
The wrong product in a moving joint is a classic cause. A stiff, general-purpose sealant can’t cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
If you let a flat or house near Ashford International station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the joint can take water or movement

The process
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the job takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building in most cases. Somewhere as small as Hinxhill, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
