About our external mastic in Middleton Stoney
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Some surfaces need a primer before sealing. Common call-outs are for movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant and leaking joints around cladding and façade panels, across concrete & block, brickwork movement joints and copings & trims.
In a village or hamlet like Middleton Stoney, 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.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

What the job involves on each surface
Concrete and blockwork
Wide joints in concrete need the depth controlling carefully. Backing rod sized to the joint sets it so the sealant is not too deep.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick walls have vertical movement joints to absorb expansion. We reseal them with a low-modulus sealant over backing rod coloured to suit the wall.
External mastic in Middleton Stoney: local notes
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.
Letting a property close to Heyford station? Then outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
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 does not work out, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
We keep the work tidy and contained to the area we are working on. Expect the work to take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. Somewhere like Middleton Stoney 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.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.

Advice
Signs you need external mastic in Middleton Stoney
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.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Panel joints letting water in
In the older streets around Church of All Saints, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
What your quote should include
- How much experience the applicator has
- Which colour the sealant will be
- What the quote includes, VAT included or not
- Whether all the old sealant comes out first
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after new joints is easy:
- Check external joints each spring
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Ask before painting over external sealant
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. High-pressure water can lift the edges over time.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
We work for landlords and agents as well as householders. Resealing between tenancies keeps a property looking cared for.
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. On commercial sites, working times can be discussed when we quote.

I let a flat near Heyford station. Can you help?

Should I try DIY first?
It depends on the job. High-level, external movement and fire-rated joints are professional jobs, while a short indoor joint may be within reach.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before resealing.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
How do you reach high-level joints?
It depends on the building. Send us pictures and a rough idea of the height.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so please follow the time we give you when we finish.
When will the joints need doing again?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Signs to watch for are cracking, hardening and gaps at the edges, and reseal at that point.
