External Mastic in Hinxhill Park
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints for homeowners, landlords and businesses in Hinxhill Park. Fully insured, ARBOMaster approved and guaranteed for a year.
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Failed seals between different materials
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
What happens on the day
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere as small as Hinxhill Park, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
How to get a quote
Asking for a quote is easy: tell us what needs doing and where and its rough size. Photos by email help us understand the job, and we’ll take it from there.

External mastic in Hinxhill Park
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. We work on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints, and the jobs we see most are joints where the bead has come unstuck and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Hinxhill Park is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee in Hinxhill Park and across Kent.

DIY versus a professional finish
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
How to look after the new joints
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
Why act early in Hinxhill Park
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hinxhill Park, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, ring 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

How long should I leave it?

Outside joints around Hinxhill Park
The South East is one of 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 Godinton House (about 3.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hinxhill Park 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 Church of St Mary, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. For landlords with property near Ashford International station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

When to call us in Hinxhill Park
Every building moves. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Panel joints letting water in
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
If you look after a building such as Willesborough Infant School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Are they insured?
- What happens if the job turns out different
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Movement that is more than a sealant joint can take
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will say what we think.
