What affects the quote in Stowting
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How many areas need sealing
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- Whether the work is at height
Instead of a standard rate, we look at what your job involves: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What we need to know
What to tell us when you ask for a quote:
- The address or postcode of the job
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
For a quick quote, get us on the phone, or email us if that is easier. Describe what needs sealing and we’ll talk you through the work and send you a clear quote.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Stowting
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a colour to suit. We work on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and people most often call us about movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant and sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render.
In a village or hamlet like Stowting, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we’ll sort it.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stowting
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stowting, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
There are no prices on our website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a quick quote and we will talk you through it.

Related advice
What the job involves on each surface
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so the joints need a sealant that stays flexible.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before the bead.
External mastic in Stowting: local notes
With historic houses such as Westenhanger Castle (about 3.2 miles south) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stowting as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material. London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
Schools such as Stowting Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Letting a property close to Westenhanger station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Honest limits
We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what sealant can’t fix:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering

Joints and surfaces we work on
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
What we’re called out for in Stowting
Sometimes a movement joint was filled with mortar or a rigid filler by mistake. The joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
If you live in an older home near Church of St Mary, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

DIY versus a professional finish
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
