External mastic in Launton
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 take the old material out and do it properly. Common call-outs are for rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint and gaps where render, brick and frames meet, on copings & trims, façade panels and brickwork movement joints.
In a village or hamlet like Launton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Joints on those walls need a sealant that moves with the building and stays in place.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right with it in that time, tell us and we’ll put it right.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care helps the new joints last. Our advice:
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep water from gutters off the wall
- Have failed joints looked at early
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
Small splits are the time to act. At that stage it’s a simple cut out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
How we quote for external mastic
Jobs vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Mould in or behind the old joints
- Working hours on commercial sites
- How easy the joints are to reach
- Which sealant suits the joint
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we ask a few questions first and give you a clear price before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos help, but a description is a good start. Please mention:
- Photos by email, if that is easy
- Whether it’s a home or a business
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints

Why act early in Launton
It often makes sense to reseal all the failing joints on an elevation together. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. In a small place like Launton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and access to the work. You’ll have a clear quote before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What does external mastic cost?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.

Different surfaces, different methods
Copings and trims
Coping and trim joints face rain and sun head on. We reseal them with an exterior sealant suited to the material.
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
Walls and rooflines in Launton
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
Managing a site like Launton Church of England Primary School? Then movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move. If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

How it works
At the end, we look at the finished work together. The visit itself generally takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, depending on the size of the job. Somewhere like Launton needs a little journey planning: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. 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.
- Both sides are cleaned back to sound material and primed if needed.
- Closed-cell backing rod is fitted to set the depth and stop three-sided bonding.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the work
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Let us know if you’ve seen damp or leaks
