Should I try it myself first?
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. New silicone will not bond to old, so it peels away and traps moisture behind it. All the old material has to come out first.
External mastic for homes and businesses in Blenheim
We are ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. We work on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and panel joints letting water in.
Older homes in small places like Blenheim may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.

Blenheim buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast. Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 0.5 miles south) are a reminder that the area around Blenheim 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.
Managing a site like Garsington Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

How the job changes by surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one.
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are generally separated by sealed joints. We reseal them with a sealant suited to the panel material.

Your questions about external mastic in Blenheim
Do you cover smaller places like Blenheim?
Yes, Blenheim is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Radley station?

Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured for domestic and commercial work.
What is a movement joint?
Brickwork, render and cladding all move a little, and planned joints take up that movement. It’s closed with backing rod and a flexible sealant.
How do you reach high-level joints?
Each building is different. Tell us the height, the number of joints and what’s below them and we’ll confirm how they can be reached safely.
Do the sealants smell?
Sometimes, a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures.
How often do external joints need resealing?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away and have them redone then.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. They’ve weathered the same way, and access only has to be arranged once. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Blenheim, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.

For landlords and businesses
From a single let to a portfolio, the work is the same standard: the old material taken out, careful preparation and a 12-month guarantee.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we will quote.
What we do, step by step
We bring everything the job needs with us, so you don’t need to buy or prepare anything. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Blenheim, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- First we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

A few problems are outside what sealant work can do:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take

- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
