About our external mastic in North Stoke
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. We work on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and render & cladding joints, and people most often call us about failed sealant between panels on a façade and plants rooting in failed movement joints.
Older homes in small places like North Stoke may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some problems need a builder, plumber or other trade rather than us:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Quotes for external mastic in North Stoke
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- How many areas need sealing
- The size of the job
- The type of sealant required
Doing several joints on one visit generally makes better use of the time than several visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will send you a clear quote for the lot.
What to tell us for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can tell us:
- The type of property
- Any previous sealing or DIY work
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- The rough size of the job
We don’t publish a price list, because every job is different. Instead, your job gets its own clear quote. To arrange one, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.
For landlords and businesses
Landlords and letting agents in North Stoke can book us as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for before the next move-in.
Whether it’s one flat or a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
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.
How the visit works
We work through the job in order: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. Typically it takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation and we leave things clean and tidy. For a village or hamlet like North Stoke, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Act on the first splits you see
- Check external joints each spring
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
External mastic in North Stoke: local notes
With historic houses such as Brightwell Manor (about 3.5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around North Stoke as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Schools such as Wallingford School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Cholsey station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. In the older streets around St Mary the Virgin, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way. Older cottages and farmhouses around North Stoke can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.

North Stoke questions
I let a flat near Cholsey station. Can you help?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you cover smaller places like North Stoke?
Yes. North Stoke 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.
What is a movement joint?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.
What do you need from me for a quote?
Where the job is, what the problem is and roughly how big it is. Photos by email help too.
How often do external joints need resealing?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Does someone need to be in?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we’ll agree access with you when we book.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. We tell you how long to leave it before we go.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do. We can talk about working times when we quote.
