Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so the work can be planned room by room around your bookings where we can. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. We can quote for more than one property at once.
About our external mastic in Stoke
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Stoke, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean joint faces and the right depth. We work on concrete & block, joints between brick and frames and render & cladding joints, and the jobs we see most are panel joints letting water in and hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving.
Somewhere as small as Stoke, 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.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Stoke buildings and the weather
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as St Mary Bourne Primary School, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
Stoke is about 5 miles north-east of Andover, in Hampshire. From the centre of Stoke to the outskirts, external mastic is available for homes and businesses alike, from flats and houses to offices and hotels. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Stoke among them. We also work in Reading, around 23 miles away.
All of SP11 is within our area for external mastic. We cover properties on Chapel Lane, Crabtree Lane and Stoke Hill and the roads around them. Other places close to Stoke include Hurstbourne Tarrant (2 miles north-west), Little London (2 miles south-west), Ibthorpe (2 miles north-west), Smannell (2 miles south-west) and Upper Enham (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Basingstoke (14 miles east), Winchester (15 miles south), Andover (5 miles south-west), Tadley (14 miles north-east), Hyde (14 miles south) and Popley (15 miles east).
Local landmarks in Stoke
Around Stoke, our work takes us to homes and buildings near White Hart pub and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, roughly 4.1 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Andover War Memorial Hospital (4.6 miles south-west) and Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.2 miles south-west). Green spaces nearby include Anton Lakes and Sidown Hill.
How to look after the new joints
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check external joints each spring
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Stoke: your questions answered
Do you cover Stoke for external mastic?
Yes, Stoke is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
Is Stoke within the area you cover?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Filling it with mortar defeats its purpose and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are glad to have it sorted.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, and it’s something we never do.
How do I get a quote for external mastic in Stoke?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
When will the joints need doing again?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
Is there any odour?
Sometimes, a little. It fades as the sealant cures.
When it is not the sealant
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Cutting new joints into brickwork, which is building work rather than sealant work
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

When to call us in Stoke
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed seals between different materials
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
For landlords with property near Whitchurch (Hampshire) station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

How it works
You do not need to clear the whole room or building before we come, only the area right around the joints. Everything nearby is protected, and the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access for a typical job. Somewhere like Stoke needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any tricky access

Advice
DIY versus a professional finish
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
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.
