External mastic in Milton-under-Wychwood, done properly
Where two different materials meet, such as brick and render or blockwork and metal, they move at different rates. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement. We work on joints between brick and frames, copings & trims and façade panels, and the jobs we see most are gaps where render, brick and frames meet and moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Milton-under-Wychwood is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job, whatever its size.

Milton-under-Wychwood: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords with property near Shipton station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Will you come out to Milton-under-Wychwood?
Yes, Milton-under-Wychwood is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. The journey is planned ahead, so it helps to know about access.
What colours does the sealant come in?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render so the joint blends in. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done and we will quote it together.
Can you seal joints between two different materials?
Yes. The old joint is removed, both surfaces cleaned and primed where needed, and a flexible sealant applied. The colour is chosen to suit.
What do you put in the joint?
Products from Arbo and Everbuild, among others, picked for each joint. We explain the product when we quote.
How long does external mastic last?
That depends on the wall, the weather and the movement. Look for splits, hardening or edges coming away, and reseal at that point.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we are fully insured too.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
Clay brickwork grows slightly over its life and moves with the weather. That movement goes into the joint, so its sealant has to stay flexible.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Milton-under-Wychwood
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A rushed bead with no backing looks untidy and does not last so it’s worth doing right. In a small place like Milton-under-Wychwood, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
What you pay reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we ask a few questions first and agree the price before starting.

Can I do it myself?
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A thick, smeared bead looks untidy and doesn’t move well, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
A careful DIYer can reseal a simple joint, like a short, easy-to-reach joint indoors. Where it goes wrong is sealing over the old bead, working on a wet joint or overloading the gap.
Honest limits
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Subsidence or other structural problems
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in Milton-under-Wychwood
The price is agreed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How many areas need sealing
- The type of sealant required
- How much old sealant there is and how hard it is to remove
- The number and length of the joints
Combining jobs into one visit is generally more efficient than separate visits, so it’s worth mentioning everything you’d like done. We will give you a clear price for the lot.
Helping us quote
To make quoting easier, please include:
- If someone has resealed it before
- How we’d reach the joints
- Pictures of the joints, sent by email
- The problem you’ve noticed
Asking for a quote is easy: let us know what needs doing and where and its rough size. A few pictures by email make the job easier to understand, and we will take it from there.
What else we do in Milton-under-Wychwood
Milton-under-Wychwood buildings and the weather
Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
If you let a flat or house near Shipton station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies. If you look after a building such as Wychwood Church of England Primary School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. If you live in an older home near Church of St Simon and St Jude, an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.
