External mastic in Hodsoll Street
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’re dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and damp patches traced to an open external joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Hodsoll Street is booked around the forecast. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee.

How we quote for external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- The number and length of the joints
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Which sealant suits the joint
- Whether the work is at height
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. We’ll give you a clear quote for the lot.
Helping us quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The type of property
- What’s wrong with the joints now
To get a quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the location and a short description of the problem. You’ll have a clear quote before work begins.
Common problems we fix in Hodsoll Street
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Culverstone Green Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Before booking anyone
- Is the old sealant removed completely?
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Which colour the sealant will be

FAQs for Hodsoll Street
Do you cover Hodsoll Street for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Hodsoll Street is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Hodsoll Street?
Yes, we do. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Does someone need to be in?
Access is agreed with you when the job is booked. Indoors, that usually means someone at home.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
Is it worth trying it myself?
Some simple jobs can be done by a careful DIYer. The usual mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using too much.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
The aim is a neat, even joint in a colour that suits the wall. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little: the area around the joints is protected first, and we clear up the old sealant and our materials before we leave.
What we do, step by step
When we get to you, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. For a village or hamlet like Hodsoll Street, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Advice
When it isn’t the sealant
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
- Concrete & block
Different surfaces, different methods
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two so neither cracks the other.
Copings and trims
Coping joints that leak let water straight down into the wall. Resealing them is a small job that protects a lot.
Hodsoll Street buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Cobham College (about 4.5 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Hodsoll Street has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. 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.
If you let a flat or house near Meopham station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to Church of Saint Peter include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
