How do I get a quote for external mastic in Stoke-by-Nayland?
Every job is different, so each one gets its own quote. To get one, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing and where.
What should I tell you?
A short description and the location. We’ll ask anything else we need to know.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
Can I do it myself?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs.
How we handle external mastic in Stoke-by-Nayland
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible sealant bridges the two. If you’re dealing with brick movement joints where the sealant has split and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Stoke-by-Nayland is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or email us.

What external mastic looks like in Stoke-by-Nayland
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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Why act early in Stoke-by-Nayland
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Around Stoke-by-Nayland, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple, and it makes a real difference:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
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.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
How it works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Point us to the joints and we will get on with it. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including the tidy-up. For a village or hamlet like Stoke-by-Nayland, 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.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- We prime the faces where required.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the joints
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Signs you need external mastic in Stoke-by-Nayland
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
If you live in an older home near St Mary's Church, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
