Surface by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it and keep the sealant to the right depth.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Why act early in Hogben's Hill
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hogben's Hill, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
The cost reflects the work involved, not a rough estimate. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- We leave the area clean and tidy
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
See our cost guide and customer reviews.
Keeping the joints in good condition
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges and let water in behind.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
When to call us in Hogben's Hill
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Hogben's Hill buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 2.9 miles west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hogben's Hill 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.
Letting a property close to Selling station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
