West Stoke: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like West Stoke?
Yes, we do. We work across London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Is West Stoke in your area for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and West Stoke is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties at once.
Do I need to be at home?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Will it make a mess?
Not at all. The area is protected while we work and cleaned up afterwards.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
Backing rod controls the sealant depth and keeps it off the back of the joint. Then the sealant bonds to two faces and can move.
Where do you work from?

How we handle external mastic in West Stoke
For buildings in West Stoke, we reseal external joints of all kinds, from brick movement joints to cladding panels. Every joint gets the same careful preparation: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. Typical jobs include joints with sealant missing in places and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, on joints between brick and frames, render & cladding joints and brickwork movement joints.
Older homes in small places like West Stoke may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right with it in that time, tell us and we will put it right.

What happens on the day
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, only the area right around the joints. We protect the rest, and the work takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation in most cases. For a village or hamlet like West Stoke, 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.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.

What external mastic looks like in West Stoke
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like West Dean House (about 3.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around West Stoke has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
For landlords with property near Fishbourne station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. Homes close to Church of St Andrew include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

When it isn’t the sealant
Honest advice matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what sealant cannot fix:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY versus a professional finish
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed first.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost near the open joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. In a small place like West Stoke, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Rather than a set price list, 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.

Do you need external mastic in West Stoke?
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the joint eventually tears or comes away from one side.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Panel joints letting water in
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Bishop Luffa School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
