External mastic for homes and businesses in Little Hoddington
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and render & cladding joints, and common reasons people get in touch are leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Little Hoddington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
We stand behind the work with a 12-month guarantee, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Can I do it myself?
Not every job suits DIY: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
Questions from Little Hoddington
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Hook station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Little Hoddington in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Little Hoddington is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin, matched as closely as the range allows.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Tell us about the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the area we are working on, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we tell you how long to leave it before we go. For a village or hamlet like Little Hoddington, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit

Common problems we fix in Little Hoddington
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
If you let a flat or house near Hook station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Is VAT in the price?
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
External mastic in Little Hoddington: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
In the older streets around Church of St Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Older cottages and farmhouses around Little Hoddington can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
