Can I do it myself?
If you’re set on DIY, put the effort into preparation: take out all the old sealant, make sure the joint is clean and dry, and give it the full cure time. If it fails, we can still redo it.
A DIY attempt doesn’t rule out a professional job. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
About our external mastic in Great Coxwell
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what’s needed to reach them safely. If you’re dealing with hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and rigid filler in a joint that should flex, we can put it right, on brickwork movement joints, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames alike.
In a village or hamlet like Great Coxwell, 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.

Walls and rooflines in Great Coxwell
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. With historic houses such as Buscot Park (about 2.6 miles north-west) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Great Coxwell as well as newer homes. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you look after a building such as Faringdon Community College, movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Giles, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
Great Coxwell is in Oxfordshire. Great Coxwell gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Across Oxfordshire, we cover 443 places, Great Coxwell among them. We also work in Oxford, around 18 miles away.

Common questions in Great Coxwell
Do you cover smaller places like Great Coxwell?
Yes, Great Coxwell is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, from towns to the smallest places. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
Do you cover Great Coxwell for external mastic?

Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. We use a flexible sealant suited to both surfaces.
Where are you based?

Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A movement joint is a planned break in the wall that absorbs expansion and shrinkage. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
Do you work at height?
That depends on how high the joints are and the ground below. Low-level joints are straightforward; for higher work, tell us about the building and we will confirm what’s needed.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. Hotels, offices and other businesses use us and we are fully insured.

How the job changes by surface
Copings and trims
Joints in copings, parapets and trims are exposed to the worst of the weather. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we go over the finished joints with you and explain the cure time. The visit itself normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on the amount of work. For a village or hamlet like Great Coxwell, 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 we look over the joints with you, agree which to renew and talk through access.
- We cut out the failed sealant and rake out any dirt or growth.
- We clean both faces of the joint and prime them where the product calls for it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- Mention any tricky access

Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over the top of old mastic does not hold for long. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. Older cottages and farmhouses around Great Coxwell can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
What it costs depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Aftercare tips
Good habits help new joints last longer. A few tips:
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Act on the first splits you see
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead over time.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established.
