How we handle external mastic in Hinton Waldrist
Short cuts in external joints show up within a season or two. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing rarely last long. We strip the joint back and start again. If you are dealing with cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left, we can help, whatever the surface.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Hinton Waldrist is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Every job is covered by our one-year guarantee.

Outside joints around Hinton Waldrist
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. With historic houses such as Longworth House (about 0.4 miles north-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Hinton Waldrist as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Margaret, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
Hinton Waldrist is about 7 miles north of Wantage, in Oxfordshire.

What we are called out for in Hinton Waldrist
Poor preparation causes many early failures: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The sealant never bonds properly.
People usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint
Managing a site like Longworth Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

What sealant work can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than do work that will not last, so here’s what sealant can’t put right:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Loose or hollow render, which needs re-rendering
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
Can I do it myself?
Some jobs are best left to a professional: high-level joints, fire-rated gaps, external movement joints and big jobs call for the right materials, safe access and experience.
If you’ve already had a go yourself, that is fine. We remove it and do the joint properly, so tell us about it when you ask for a quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hinton Waldrist
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it locks the joint solid. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Hinton Waldrist, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
A few things move the cost up or down: the old material and how easily it comes out, whether mould needs treating, and whether the work is at height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. We recommend:
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Act on the first splits you see
If you have more work done on the wall, such as new render, cladding or an opening, show the contractor the movement joints. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
FAQs for Hinton Waldrist
Is Hinton Waldrist within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Is external mastic in Hinton Waldrist guaranteed?
All our work, in Hinton Waldrist and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re also fully insured and ARBOMaster approved.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes. We work in offices, washrooms, hotels and other commercial premises, as well as homes. Working times can be discussed when we quote.
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 the wall may crack nearby. We will reseal it with a flexible sealant.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. For work indoors, someone needs to let us in, and for outside work we will agree access with you when we book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes, always, and completely. New silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so the joint is cleaned back first.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often happy for the work to be arranged.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van, so there’s nothing for you to buy. After a quick look at the joints together, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Hinton Waldrist needs a little journey planning: 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.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
