External mastic for homes and businesses in Fyfield
Low-level joints can usually be done from the ground. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we will confirm what access is needed. We work on render & cladding joints, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims, and people most often call us about panel joints letting water in and failed seals between different materials.
Older homes in small places like Fyfield may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. Where one material meets another is where water usually gets in.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What affects the quote in Fyfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Which sealant suits the joint
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- When we can work, for business premises
- Access and height
What it costs depends on the amount of work, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. We give a clear quote before work begins, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The rough size of the job
- What the problem is, such as mould, gaps, leaks or cracking
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- Access, such as stairs, a lift or height

Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Clear growth from the base of walls and joints
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
Keep the joints clear of soil, plants and climbing growth. Damp material against the sealant shortens its life.
Leave a failed movement joint and water keeps getting into the wall. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
Why deal with it now?
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The wall then cracks somewhere else. The correct repair is a flexible sealant with the right backing. Older cottages and farmhouses around Fyfield can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You will know the price before we begin.
What you get with us
- Experience in homes, commercial sites and hotels
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- We’re fully insured
- Old sealant always removed completely

What we’re called out for in Fyfield
Weeds, moss and debris in a joint are a sign the sealant has gone. Roots and dirt hold water against the wall.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Cracked joints where brick meets render or frames
Schools such as Abingdon Preparatory School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s.
Questions to ask before you book
- How much experience the applicator has
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which colour the sealant will be
Outside joints around Fyfield
With historic houses such as Appleton Manor (about 2.2 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Fyfield as well as newer homes. 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, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Nicholas, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.

Common questions in Fyfield
Is there a guarantee on external mastic in Fyfield?
Every job comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever it is. We are fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is Fyfield within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How long does external mastic take?
That depends on how much there is to do, but as a guide it takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. We’ll give you a better idea when we quote.
How long does external mastic last?
It depends on the exposure, the movement and the product. Sealant is a maintenance item, so check the joints once a year and reseal when it splits.
What does external mastic cost?
It depends on the job, so we quote each one individually. To get one, call 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a short description of the job.
Do you do commercial work?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us, and we are fully insured.
Does someone need to be in?
That depends on where the joints are. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again, so just mention it when you contact us.
