Do you need external mastic in Staplers?
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. If the sealant sticks to the back as well as the sides, it cannot stretch and tears as soon as the joint widens.
People normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
If you live in an older home near St Paul's Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
What to look for in a quote
- How much experience the applicator has
- How the joint is cleaned and prepared
- What guarantee comes with the work
- How long to leave it before use
About our external mastic in Staplers
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. The colour is chosen to suit the brick or render so the joint does not stand out. We’re often asked to deal with leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and concrete & block.
Outbuildings, garages and conservatories around homes in places like Staplers add more joints to look after. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please call 0345 464 0079 or email us.

Honest limits
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before work begins. Sealant won’t put right:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If you’re not sure, just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Do the sealants smell?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.

How the job changes by surface
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that is happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly if the joint can be cleared.
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use or an approved alternative. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
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 fails, we can still redo it.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, then guaranteed for a year.
External mastic in Staplers: local notes
Historic houses like Carisbrooke Castle (about 1.9 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Staplers 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, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Managing a site like Barton Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Quotes for external mastic in Staplers
Every job gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How much there is to do
- Access and height
- How many areas need sealing
- Working hours on commercial sites
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. It helps if you can tell us:
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- Roughly how big the job is
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
Call for a quick quote, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll explain what’s involved and give you a clear price.
The process
We keep the work tidy and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. Expect the work to take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. A visit to Staplers is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- 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.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
