Common questions in Milton
Can you do external mastic in Milton?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Milton is part of that. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and tell us what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
Will you come out to Milton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will it make a mess?
No. We protect the surfaces around the joints, and we tidy up before we go.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Yes. All of the old material is cut out and the joint cleaned before applying anything new.
Do I need to be at home?
We need access to the joints, so we’ll agree that with you when we book. Indoors, that normally means someone at home.
How much does external mastic cost in Milton?
The cost depends on the size of the job, access and how much old sealant has to come out. Call for a quick quote.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. We hold ARBOMaster approved applicator status and we’re fully insured too.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. Where different materials meet is one of the most common joints we seal. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides, primed where needed.
External mastic in Milton
External mastic is a job where short cuts show quickly. New sealant over old, joints packed with mortar and beads with no backing all tend to fail early. We strip the joint back and start again. We work on brickwork movement joints, concrete & block and façade panels, and common reasons people get in touch are joints with sealant missing in places and weeds or debris growing in open joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Milton is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by our one-year guarantee in Milton and across Oxfordshire.

Can I do it myself?
A DIY attempt does not rule out a professional job. We cut it out and start again.
Too much sealant is as bad as too little. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and the joint depth matters as much as the finish.
How we quote for external mastic

Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:

- Photos by email, if that’s easy
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details.
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the joints looking good and working properly:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Point out the joints to other trades
- Get split or bare joints resealed while the damage is small
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
Act while the splits are small. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal with no damage behind it to deal with.
Outside joints around Milton
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. Historic houses like Clifton Hampden Manor (about 4.3 miles north-east) are a reminder that the area around Milton has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
Schools such as Sutton Courtenay Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing. For landlords with property near Appleford station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Blaise, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How it works
The work is kept neat and contained to the joints we are treating, so you can get on with your day. The job generally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, and we explain the cure time before we leave. Somewhere as small as Milton, access is often the only tricky part. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- 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.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

Honest limits
Sealant is not the answer to every problem, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
If in doubt, call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
