FAQs for Stambourne Green
Do you cover Stambourne Green for external mastic?

Is Stambourne Green within the area you cover?

Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a one-year guarantee.
Can you do several jobs on one visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
There’s a good range of exterior colours, including greys, browns, whites and stone tones. We pick the one that suits your wall best so the joint does not draw the eye.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
What do you put in the joint?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in.
External mastic in Stambourne Green, done properly
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. The sealant in it has to stretch and squeeze for years, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you are dealing with failed sealant between panels on a façade and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, we can help, on copings & trims, render & cladding joints and concrete & block alike.
Somewhere as small as Stambourne Green, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

DIY versus a professional finish
If you are set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.

What we do, step by step
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. Somewhere as small as Stambourne Green, access is often the only tricky part. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Advice
Keeping the joints in good condition
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. Over time it can mean damp inside, stained render or frost-damaged brick which cost more to put right than the joint.
Leave it or put it right?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stambourne Green can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Commercial jobs are quoted on the same basis as homes: the amount of work, the access and the products needed, along with when we can work on site. Ask us for a quote and we will go through it with you.

When something else is needed
A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them

Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use or an approved alternative. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick moves with heat and moisture, and grows a little over time. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
