External mastic for homes and businesses in Fifield
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. Overfilled joints, missing backing rod and sealant laid over old sealant rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. If you have water getting into walls through failed joints and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can help.
Older homes in small places like Fifield may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water generally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Our work is backed for twelve months.

How much does external mastic cost in Fifield?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, with over 20 years’ experience in sealant work.
How long does external mastic take?
Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, including preparation and clearing up. Your quote will say how long we expect yours to take.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. We will talk through colour options before any work starts.
Will the old sealant be removed?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
What’s an expansion joint in brickwork?
Walls move with heat, cold and moisture, so long walls have planned gaps to take that movement. The gap is sealed with a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Do you need external mastic in Fifield?
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Dirt and roots then trap moisture in the joint and make things worse.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck

What external mastic looks like in Fifield
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
In the older streets around Church of St John the Baptist, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

What the job involves on each surface
Render joints
Render is weaker at the surface than brick, so a low-modulus sealant is kinder to the joint edges. Priming is done where the sealant calls for it.
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. Each is resealed with a weatherproof, flexible sealant.
Landlord and commercial work in Fifield
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which matters even more when someone else lives there. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams in Fifield and across Oxfordshire. We can quote a run of properties together.
What sealant work can’t fix
New sealant cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. Sealant won’t put right:
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Brickwork movement joints
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
- Copings & trims
What happens on the day
Once we are on site, we check the joints match what you told us. If anything is different, we explain it before carrying on. Most jobs then take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Fifield, access is normally the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height
- Move anything stored near the joints

We quote each job on its own. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Advice
Aftercare tips
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Walk round the building once a year and look at the joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage, all bigger jobs than a reseal.
