External & façade joints in Marsh Baldon, Oxfordshire
Professional external mastic in and around Marsh Baldon, with every bit of old sealant taken out first and a 12-month guarantee.
- Joints with sealant missing in places
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
When to call us in Marsh Baldon
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A stiff, general-purpose sealant cannot cope with a joint that moves a lot, and it tears off the sides.
If you can see any of these, it’s time to have the joints looked at:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
If you look after a building such as Marsh Baldon Church of England Controlled School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Walls and rooflines in Marsh Baldon
Historic houses like Garsington Manor (about 2.2 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Marsh Baldon has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Peter, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Letting a property close to Radley station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

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.
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it so the sealant isn’t too deep.
Leave it or put it right?
A properly done movement joint is an even line in a colour that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and doesn’t last, so it pays to do it properly once. Older cottages and farmhouses around Marsh Baldon can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Every job is a little different, so each one gets its own quote. Size, access and the product the joint needs all play a part.

How it works
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Every joint is cleaned and dried before new material goes in. In total, it usually takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. Somewhere like Marsh Baldon 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.
- Each joint is checked and the colour of the new sealant agreed.
- We take out the old sealant until the faces are sound.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
