External mastic for homes and businesses in Stone
For buildings in Stone, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include plants rooting in failed movement joints and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, across joints between brick and frames, concrete & block and render & cladding joints.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Stone is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Stone and across Buckinghamshire.

Common problems we fix in Stone
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, so it pulls away from the edges.
Any of these means the joints need attention:
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
If you look after a building such as Stone Church of England Combined School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
What affects the cost of external mastic
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- When we can work, for business premises
- How many areas need sealing
- The old material and how stubborn it is
- Access and height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: the amount of work, the old material and the access. You’ll know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
Photos by email are helpful but not essential. Please mention:
- How many joints, rooms or windows are involved
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What’s wrong with the joints now
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
The more we know about the job, the more useful the quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add photos by email if you can.

Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you.
Can new sealant go over the old?

Does someone need to be in?

What external mastic looks like in Stone
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. Historic houses like Waddesdon Manor (about 4.1 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Stone has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you let a flat or house near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. If you live in an older home near Church of St John the Baptist, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we’ve said otherwise
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the amount of work. Somewhere like Stone needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided 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.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work

Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs need the right product, the right access and the right method.
The biggest DIY mistake is sealing over old sealant. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. All the old material has to come out first.
When it is not the sealant
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
