External mastic in Foxcotte
A movement joint is a deliberate break that lets a wall expand and contract. Its sealant has to flex with the building, season after season, so once it splits or hardens, the joint stops working and water gets in. If you are dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can put it right, whatever the surface.
Older homes in small places like Foxcotte may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right with it, phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

What else we do in Foxcotte
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy, and it makes a real difference:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Look over the joints once a year, ideally after winter. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it.
FAQs for Foxcotte
Do you cover Foxcotte for external mastic?
Yes. Our work covers London and the South East, and Foxcotte is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will give you a clear price.
I let a flat near Andover station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for landlords and letting agents. Just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and tell us about the property, and we will give you a clear price.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces with primer where required.
What is backing rod for?
Backing rod goes into deeper joints as a matter of course. It controls the depth and stops the sealant bonding to the back.
Should I point up the gap in my brickwork?
No. A mortar-filled joint cannot move, so the wall cracks somewhere else instead. It needs a flexible sealant over backing rod.
Should I try DIY first?
You can, for simple jobs. Preparation is everything: all the old sealant out, and a clean, dry joint. We can always put it right if it fails.
Where are you based?
Our base is in Crawley, West Sussex, and we cover South East England, London and all of Scotland.

Quotes for external mastic in Foxcotte
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours on commercial sites
- Whether old sealant or filler has to be cut out
- The amount of work
- Any mould that needs treating
Homes and businesses are quoted the same way: the amount of work, how we reach it and what it needs, plus any working-time requirements on site. Ask us for a quote and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just tell us:
- Whether it has been sealed before
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height
- A few photos by email, if you can
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Foxcotte buildings and the weather
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.
If you live in an older home near St Thomas, the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. Schools such as Harrow Way Community School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. Rented homes near Andover station change hands often, and split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

What’s near Foxcotte
In Foxcotte, that means homes and buildings near Portway Infant School and White Hart Public House. The nearest railway station is Andover station, roughly 1.2 miles south-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Andover Museum (1.7 miles south-east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (0.9 miles south-east). Open spaces near Foxcotte include Mill Lake and Anton Lakes.
What happens if it’s left?
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That protects surfaces like brick, render and concrete. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Foxcotte, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Every job is a little different, so we quote each one individually. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all make a difference.
