How we handle external mastic in Stocker's Head
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we will confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, across render & cladding joints, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
Somewhere as small as Stocker's Head, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. 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.

Stocker's Head buildings and the weather
With historic houses such as Belmont House and Gardens (about 3.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stocker's Head as well as newer homes. In older buildings, 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, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
Rented homes near Charing station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Schools such as Charing Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

When to call us in Stocker's Head
If plants are growing out of a joint, the sealant has generally failed or was never there. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall and make things worse.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
Homes close to Church of St Peter and St Paul include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common questions in Stocker's Head
Do you work for landlords with property near Charing station?
Yes. We work for landlords and letting agents as well as householders, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Stocker's Head within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Stocker's Head?
We don’t publish prices, because the cost depends on the job: how much there is, what’s there now, how we reach it and what it needs. You’ll get a clear quote before we start.
Where is Mr Mastic based?
We work from Crawley. Our applicators cover Stocker's Head, along with the rest of our area.
What is backing rod for?
The foam is closed-cell backing rod. It keeps the sealant at the right depth and bonded to the sides only so it can flex with the joint.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Several rooms, windows or areas can go on one quote.
How long before the joint can be used?
Many sealants skin over quickly but take longer to cure fully. We will give you the cure time for the product we used.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We choose the closest to your brick or render so it doesn’t stand out.

What affects the quote in Stocker's Head
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- The size of the job
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
Surfaces we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Façade panels
- Render & cladding joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
Should I try it myself first?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We cut it out and start again, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
