External mastic in Deddington, done properly
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 will confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. We’re often asked to deal with failed sealant between panels on a façade and plants rooting in failed movement joints, on façade panels, concrete & block and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Deddington is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
You’re covered for a year from the day we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email.

Why it’s worth doing now in Deddington
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so we always take the old sealant out. Around Deddington, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
The cost depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You will have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Deddington questions
Do you cover smaller places like Deddington?
Yes. Deddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Do you work for landlords with property near Kings Sutton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for, and several properties can be quoted together. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details for a clear quote.
Which products do you use?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, chosen to suit the joint. We explain the product when we quote.
Do you hold any approvals?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
How long does external mastic last?
It varies with how exposed the wall is and how much the joint moves. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Combining jobs makes good use of the visit.
Where do you work from?
Mr Mastic is based in Crawley. Our applicators cover Deddington.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we look over the joints with you first. We protect the surfaces around the joints before work begins. The work generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere as small as Deddington, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by checking each joint, agreeing the ones to redo and how we’ll reach them.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Clear items away from the joints we are working on

Related advice
DIY versus a professional finish
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.

Common problems we fix in Deddington
Sunlight, wet weather and frost wear exterior sealant down. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
In the older streets around Church of St Peter and St Paul, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different trade:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Render that is blown, hollow or coming away
- Damp that is not coming from the joint

External mastic in Deddington: local notes
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. With historic houses such as Broughton Castle (about 5 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Deddington as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Managing a site like Deddington Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Letting a property close to Kings Sutton station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

Aftercare tips
No joint lasts for ever, but care makes a real difference. A few tips:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, normally as cracking in the brickwork or render nearby. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
