External Mastic in Great Stambridge

What external mastic looks like in Great Stambridge

Historic houses like Southchurch Hall (about 3.9 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Great Stambridge 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.

If you look after a building such as Stambridge Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Church of St Mary and All Saints include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Rochford station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What happens if it’s left?

The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In a small place like Great Stambridge, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.

We don’t show prices on the website, because the cost depends so much on the job itself. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

DIY versus a professional finish

Some jobs are best left to a professional: work at height, external movement joints, fire-rated sealant and large areas need the right product, the right access and the right method.

The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. New silicone won’t bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
