Walls and rooflines in Stubbings
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. With historic houses such as Harleyford Manor (about 2.2 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Stubbings 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.
Letting a property close to Furze Platt station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. If you look after a building such as Burchetts Green CofE Infants' School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St. James the Less, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

External mastic in Stubbings, done properly
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where a rigid filler would soon crack. We work on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and copings & trims, and common reasons people get in touch are failed seals between different materials and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
In a village or hamlet like Stubbings, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
You get a 12-month guarantee, the same in Stubbings as everywhere else we work.

How to look after the new joints
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Act on the first splits you see
Only paint over the joint if we have confirmed the sealant can take paint. Many exterior sealants aren’t designed to be painted, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established so early resealing is worth it.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Subsidence or other structural problems
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Render & cladding joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Concrete and blockwork
Big joints in concrete need careful depth control. We size the backing rod to the gap and keep the sealant to the right depth.
What affects the quote in Stubbings
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Any working-time requirements on site
- Access and height
- The number and length of the joints
- The old material and how stubborn it is
Doing several joints on one visit is usually more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. You will get one clear quote for the whole job.

Questions from Stubbings
Is Stubbings in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Stubbings is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will you come out to Stubbings?
Yes, Stubbings is covered. We work across London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. The old sealant always comes out first, so the new sealant bonds properly.
Where do you work from?
We work from Crawley. We cover Stubbings and the rest of Windsor and Maidenhead, along with the rest of our area.
Which products do you use?
The product depends on the job: anti-fungal sanitary silicone in wet areas, and other sealants where joints move or face the weather. Brands we use include Arbo and Everbuild.
How long should I leave it?
It depends on the product. Before we leave, we’ll tell you the cure time.
How much does external mastic cost in Stubbings?

How long does external mastic take?
That depends on the amount of work, but most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. We’ll tell you when we quote.
The process
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. In a small place like Stubbings, access is generally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- 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.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

For landlords and businesses
Hotels need rooms back in use, so we plan the work room by room. Hotel work is part of what we do, alongside homes and businesses.
We work for landlords and letting agents as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order.
Can I do it myself?
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that’s fine. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
