Aftercare tips
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
About our external mastic in Stroud Common
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you have rigid filler in a joint that should flex and old sealant gone brittle and cracked, we can put it right.
Around Stroud Common, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Big or small, it’s backed by our 12-month guarantee.

External mastic in Stroud Common: local notes
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Chilworth Manor (about 3.1 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Stroud Common 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.
If you live in an older home near Christ Church, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Wonersh and Shamley Green CofE Aided Primary School, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.

Why act early in Stroud Common
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render around the joint, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Stroud Common, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

The process
At the end, we look at the finished work together and explain the cure time. The visit itself generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the size of the job. For a village or hamlet like Stroud Common, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so the sealant in it must stay soft and stretchy.
Copings and trims
Metal and stone copings both move with temperature, so a flexible sealant suits them best year round.
Common problems we fix in Stroud Common
Poor preparation causes many early failures: dusty or wet faces, no primer where one was needed, or old sealant left in. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
Rented homes near Chilworth station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
