External mastic in Grandpont, done properly
We cut out failed sealant, set the joint depth with closed-cell backing rod and reseal with a low-modulus exterior sealant. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. Common call-outs are for old sealant gone brittle and cracked and joints pointed up with cement by mistake, across render & cladding joints, copings & trims and façade panels.
Around Grandpont, garages, outbuildings and extensions all add to the joints on the outside of a home. Gutter ends, garage door frames and the joints where an extension meets the house are typical spots for leaks.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, large or small.

Why deal with it now?
The longer a joint stays open, the more water the wall takes in. Wet masonry is more easily damaged by frost around the joint, so the problem grows beyond the joint itself. Homes in smaller places like Grandpont can face more weather, and failed outside joints let damp into walls. Inside, a split seal lets water into floors and panels just as it would anywhere.
Leaving a failed joint normally makes the job bigger, not smaller. If you are not sure whether it needs doing, phone 0345 464 0079 or email us for an honest opinion and a quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t solve:
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
If in doubt, phone 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we seal
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Concrete & block
What external mastic looks like in Grandpont
Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind. Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 1 mile north-east) are a reminder that the area around Grandpont 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.
Managing a site like St Ebbe's Church of England Aided Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.

Can I do it myself?
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.
If you do try it yourself, take your time over the preparation: remove every trace of old sealant, clean and dry the joint, and follow the product’s cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.

FAQs for Grandpont
Do you work for landlords with property near Oxford station?
Yes, rental work is part of what we do. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and tell us about the property, and we’ll send you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Grandpont?
Yes. Grandpont is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is there any odour?
There can be a smell while the sealant cures. Ventilation helps.
Will it make a mess?
We keep the work tidy. We protect what’s around the joints, and the area is left clean when we finish.
Will the new joint stand out?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so the joint between them must be flexible. We choose one that suits both surfaces.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No, not where the gap is a movement joint. Pointing it stops it working and can lead to cracking. A flexible sealant is the right fill.
Can you work on commercial sites?
Yes. We’ve worked for hotels, offices and other businesses and we are fully insured.
How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. In total, it usually takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. For a job in Grandpont, we agree the time, the access and parking before the day. Outdoor jobs depend on a dry day, since sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- We gun in a flexible exterior sealant in a colour that suits the wall and tool it neatly.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before

How the job changes by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Panel systems often rely on sealant between and around the panels. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. A primer goes on where the product requires one before sealing.
Signs you need external mastic in Grandpont
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. In time it goes hard, crazes on the surface and stops stretching, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
In the older streets around St Matthew's, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
