External & façade joints in Hoyle, West Sussex
We cover Hoyle for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod coloured to suit the wall.
External mastic in Hoyle
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. If you have moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and weathered mastic that no longer stretches, we can put it right, on concrete & block, render & cladding joints and façade panels alike.
Around Hoyle, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What we’re called out for in Hoyle
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler by mistake. The joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
In the older streets around The Parish Church of St James, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Any mould that needs treating
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- How many areas need sealing
- Any working-time requirements on site
Leaving a failed joint usually makes the job bigger, not smaller, because water and mould keep working on it. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will give you an honest view and a quote.

- Where the property is
- If someone has resealed it before

Questions from Hoyle
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Hoyle?
All our work, in Hoyle and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Do you cover smaller places like Hoyle?
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.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the height and the site. Ground-floor joints are simple; for higher ones, send details and we’ll confirm the access.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. We can talk about working times when we quote.
Do the sealants smell?
It depends on the product. Some products have a noticeable smell, others very little, and any smell fades as they cure.
When is the sealant fully cured?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We’ll tell you how long to leave the joint before we leave.
Which products do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice, and we’ll tell you what we’re using.
Can a movement joint be filled with mortar?
No. Rigid materials can’t move with the wall. Where a joint has been mortared, it can often be raked out and sealed properly.
DIY sealant or a professional job?
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. 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.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Walls and rooflines in Hoyle
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. Historic houses like Cowdray House (about 2.2 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Hoyle has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Midhurst Rother College? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

How it works
A visit follows a simple pattern: we check the joints, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. It normally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Hoyle, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the joints
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Aftercare tips
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
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.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
