Surface by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod in a colour to suit the brick.
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
About our external mastic in Honey Hill
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We take the old material out and do it properly. We work on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and joints where the bead has come unstuck.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Honey Hill is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

What else we do in Honey Hill
DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Not every job suits DIY: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.
FAQs for Honey Hill
Do you cover smaller places like Honey Hill?
Yes. Honey Hill is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Canterbury West station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before we start.
What do you put in the joint?
It depends on the joint: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
What colours does the sealant come in?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We choose the closest to your brick or render.
How long does external mastic last?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and renew it when it starts to fail.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. We pick a colour that works with both materials.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint can’t move, so the movement cracks the wall elsewhere. Use a flexible sealant with backing rod.
What sealant work can’t fix
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
Do not let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
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.
What happens on the day
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Honey Hill, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Honey Hill buildings and the weather
Honey Hill is within about 3 miles of the coast, where wind-driven rain is a fact of life and, nearer the shore, so is salt air. That’s hard on movement joints and outside wall joints, especially on the side facing the sea. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Cosmus and St Damian, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Canterbury West station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
Managing a site like The Archbishop's School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
