External & façade joints in Fulbrook, Oxfordshire
External mastic across Fulbrook and nearby, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and does not move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
About our external mastic in Fulbrook
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. We work on brickwork movement joints, façade panels and concrete & block, and people most often call us about cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and joints with sealant missing in places.
In a village or hamlet like Fulbrook, 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.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once the job is done.

Other services in Fulbrook
Do you need external mastic in Fulbrook?
Some movement joints have been pointed up with mortar by mistake. With the joint locked solid, the movement turns into cracks elsewhere in the wall.
Common reasons people contact us include:
- Movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Letting a property close to Shipton station? Then failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- Whether the sealant suits the joint
- Whether they seal over old material or remove it
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- When the joint can take water or movement
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant isn’t the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. Sealant won’t put right:
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints

Fulbrook buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Minster Lovell Hall (about 4.2 miles east) are a reminder that the area around Fulbrook 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of Saint James the Great, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Managing a site like Burford Primary School? Then larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.

Keeping the joints in good condition
Aftercare is simple:
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Point out the joints to other trades
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Watch for splits, edges coming away or growth in the joint.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
How the job changes by surface
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant.

The process
A visit follows a simple pattern: we look at the joints together, mask and protect the surrounding surfaces, carry out the job and clear up. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a village or hamlet like Fulbrook, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the work area
- Tell us about any water getting in
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive
