Stansted External Mastic
External mastic for Stansted, by sealant specialists with 20+ years’ experience. Rated 4.9 on Google from 180+ five-star reviews.
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Why deal with it now?
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Around Stansted, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost reflects the work involved, not guesswork. That’s why we ask about the job first and agree the price before starting.
Why Stansted customers choose us
- A sealant colour to suit the surroundings
- Anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas
- Domestic, commercial and hotel work
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants

About our external mastic in Stansted
As ARBOMaster approved applicators, we choose exterior sealants to suit the joint and the surfaces. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it, and we do not skip that step. We’re often asked to deal with failed seals between different materials and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, across façade panels, copings & trims and render & cladding joints.
Older homes in small places like Stansted may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Aftercare tips
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Different surfaces, different methods
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that is what we use. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
What external mastic looks like in Stansted
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. Historic houses like Lullingstone Castle (about 4.7 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Stansted has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For landlords with property near Borough Green & Wrotham station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

What sealant work cannot fix
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What does external mastic cost?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. For a quick quote, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing and where.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses, and we’re fully insured.
Do I need to be at home?
That depends on where the joints are. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you remove the old sealant?
Yes. We cut out all the old sealant and clean the joint before applying anything new.
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 you work at height?
That depends on the building and the joints. Where joints can be reached safely, we will do them. Tell us about the building and we will confirm what access is needed.
How it works
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere as small as Stansted, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we will reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Mention any tricky access
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children

What we are called out for in Stansted
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and speed up the damage.
People generally contact us when they notice something like this:
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wrotham School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- How long to leave it before use
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What insurance they hold
