Why it’s worth doing now in Itchen Stoke
Resealing a run of joints in one go is generally better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way. Around Itchen Stoke, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why us?
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Colour agreed with you before work begins
- Arbo and Everbuild products

About our external mastic in Itchen Stoke
For buildings in Itchen Stoke, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are damp patches traced to an open external joint and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels.
Older homes in small places like Itchen Stoke may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

How to look after the new joints
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Don’t paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint and spoil the finish.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
External mastic in Itchen Stoke: local notes
With historic houses such as Hinton Ampner House (about 4 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Itchen Stoke as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Homes close to St Mary's Church include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain. If you look after a building such as Perins School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

How the visit works
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.

Advice
For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Businesses can book us for washrooms, kitchens, offices and more. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Surface by surface
Copings and trims
Copings expand and contract through the day, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible year round.
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.

Should I try it myself first?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it does not work out, we can still put it right.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
How we quote for external mastic
The quote reflects the job in front of us. We take into account:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- How much there is to do
- Any working-time requirements on site
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before any work starts.
What to tell us for a quote
You don’t need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- The rough size of the job
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Where the property is
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that’s easier. Tell us about the joints that need doing and we’ll explain what’s involved.
