Yes, Stonesfield is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
What colours does the sealant come in?
Exterior sealants are made in a range of colours, from greys and browns to whites and stone shades. We pick the one that suits your wall best so it does not stand out.
How long does external mastic take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Larger jobs naturally take longer, and we will say how long yours will take.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We’re approved under the ARBOMaster scheme, which is run for the Arbo sealant brand.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything is not right with the work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. Commercial and hotel work is a large part of what we do, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
What is a movement joint?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
External mastic in Stonesfield, done properly
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Stonesfield, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include failed sealant between panels on a façade and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint, on brickwork movement joints, joints between brick and frames and façade panels.
Older homes in small places like Stonesfield may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after we’ve gone.

Walls and rooflines in Stonesfield
Historic houses like Blenheim Palace (about 3 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Stonesfield has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Stonesfield School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. For landlords with property near Finstock station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you live in an older home near Church of St James the Great, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

DIY sealant or a professional job?
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
When it is not the sealant
To be straight with you, some problems need a different trade:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Joints between brick and frames
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Façade panels
What happens on the day
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, protect the area around them, do the work and tidy away. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Stonesfield, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Related advice
Why act early in Stonesfield
Water gets in through a failed movement joint and can run behind render or cladding. Dealing with it early keeps the repair to the joint, instead of the wall and finishes around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stonesfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.
What you get with us
- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- An ARBOMaster approved applicator
- Colour agreed with you before work begins

How to look after the new joints
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Check external joints each spring
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Stonesfield
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.

Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Brick against render, concrete against metal, stone against timber: every change of material is a joint. A flexible sealant bridges the two.
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. The movement joint takes that up, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
