Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Where a cladding system has its own specified sealant, we follow it, or one the system allows. Tell us what the building has when you get in touch.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Each side of the joint may need its own preparation. Both surfaces are cleaned and primed as the product requires.
How the visit works
On the day, there’s very little for you to do. Show us the job and we will take it from there. The job generally takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the tidy-up. In a small place like Bletchingdon, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking restrictions
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints

Advice
Landlord and commercial work in Bletchingdon
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance.
We work for letting agents and landlords as well as homeowners. Resealing between tenancies is a simple way to keep a property in good order before the next move-in.
What affects the quote in Bletchingdon
We do not publish a price list, because no two jobs are the same. What we look at:
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- Any working-time requirements on site
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The product the joint needs
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we’ll explain the quote if you ask.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, let us know:
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- If someone has resealed it before
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We don’t publish a price list, as no two jobs are quite the same. Instead, we send you a clear quote for your job. To arrange one, call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is usually better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together. In a small place like Bletchingdon, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, the access and the products needed. Call for a quick quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- A 12-month guarantee on all work
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Trusted Arbo and Everbuild sealants
- ARBOMaster approved applicator

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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Letting a property close to Tackley station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Managing a site like Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Homes close to Church of St Giles include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Can I do it myself?
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the 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.
