How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
If the façade has a specified sealant, that’s what we use. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. We reseal their joints with backing rod and a flexible product.
External mastic in Stoke Mandeville
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We look over the joints, agree the ones to renew and reseal with a flexible, weatherproof product in a matching colour. If you have failed sealant between panels on a façade and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, we can help.
Homes around Stoke Mandeville range from older cottages to newer houses, with walls and rooflines of every type. Older homes need their gutter and trim joints kept tight, newer ones their movement joints.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

Why act early in Stoke Mandeville
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner, so it pays to do it properly once. Around Stoke Mandeville, water from a failed joint in an older home can soak into timber and plaster, and that is a much bigger job than renewing the sealant.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
What you get with us
- Sanitary silicone with an anti-fungal additive in wet areas
- Colour picked to suit the job

Looking after it afterwards
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. We suggest:
- Act on the first splits you see
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Point out the joints to other trades
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Act while the splits are small. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Stoke Mandeville buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Stoke Mandeville Combined School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For landlords with property near Stoke Mandeville station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

The process
There is not much for you to do on the day. Show us the job and we’ll take it from there. The work itself takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation from start to finish. In a smaller place like Stoke Mandeville, parking is seldom the issue; lanes, gates and long drives are worth mentioning. If the job is outside, tell us about side access and how high the joints are.
- 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.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

What else we do in Stoke Mandeville
Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Brickwork movement joints
DIY versus a professional finish
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still put it right.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. Everything old must be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Stoke Mandeville
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Mary, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
