Why deal with it now?
A failed movement joint lets water into the wall and can run behind render or cladding. Resealing early keeps the job to the joint itself, rather than the wall around it. Older cottages and farmhouses around Frilford Heath can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.

External mastic in Frilford Heath
On houses, flats and commercial buildings across Frilford Heath, we reseal joints in brickwork, render, cladding and façade panels. The preparation is the same whatever the wall: clean, sound faces and a controlled depth. We’re often asked to deal with moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and cracked joints where brick meets render or frames, on copings & trims, concrete & block and joints between brick and frames.
In a village or hamlet like Frilford Heath, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, where walls and rooflines take the weather head on. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
Every job comes with our 12-month guarantee.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete and block walls shrink as they dry and move with temperature. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Render joints
Cracks along render joints let water in behind the coat. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind.
What we are called out for in Frilford Heath
Buildings move more than people expect. Clay bricks expand slightly over their life, concrete and block shrink, and everything moves with temperature and wet. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
The most common problems we see are:
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Lawrence, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.
What your quote should include

- Whether VAT is included
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why

- If someone has resealed it before

Landlords, agents and businesses in Frilford Heath
A neglected joint can let water reach the structure, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Resealing at the right time is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We also work for property managers and facilities teams. Several sites can be quoted together, and we’re fully insured for the work.
The process
We work through the job in order: protect, prepare, seal, tidy. For most jobs that takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access and we leave things clean and tidy. In a small place like Frilford Heath, access is normally the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- We inspect the joints and agree which need resealing and how they’ll be reached.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any tricky access
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix

- Failed render or damaged cladding panels

Outside joints around Frilford Heath
Historic houses like Appleton Manor (about 2 miles north) are a reminder that the area around Frilford Heath has older buildings as well as new. 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.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Abingdon Preparatory School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Rented homes near Radley station change hands often, and failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
