FAQs for Oakley
Can you do external mastic in Oakley?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Oakley is part of that. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Is external mastic in Oakley guaranteed?
All our work, in Oakley and everywhere else, comes with a 12-month guarantee. We’re fully insured, and an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Why do you put foam in the joint first?
That’s backing rod, a closed-cell foam. It stops the sealant going in too deep and bonding to three sides, which would stop it stretching.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Just list everything you need and you’ll get one quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work.
Where do you work from?
Our base is in Crawley, and we work across South East England, London and Scotland.
Do you work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for householders, landlords, letting agents, businesses and hotels in Oakley.
Can you reach joints on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We work on joints that can be reached safely. Give us some details and we’ll confirm the access.
External mastic in Oakley, done properly
Getting the depth right is half the job. Closed-cell backing rod sets the depth and stops the sealant sticking to the back, leaving it bonded to two faces so it can move with the wall. If you’re dealing with moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left and movement joints with cracked, split or missing sealant, we can put it right, on render & cladding joints, joints between brick and frames and brickwork movement joints alike.
Around Oakley, older buildings can be stone, brick or timber-framed, many with extensions added later. Where one material meets another is where water normally gets in, and they need the right sealant at the right depth.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee.

Keeping the joints in good condition
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Tell anyone working on the walls about the movement joints
- Fix overflowing gutters above sealed joints
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Have failed joints looked at early
Make sure anyone working on the wall later knows where the movement joints are. They should be kept open and resealed, not filled.
A joint that has stopped moving pushes the movement elsewhere, often as cracks near the joint. Resealing it early helps prevent that.
What external mastic looks like in Oakley
Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 1.5 miles north-west) are a reminder that the area around Oakley 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. Rainfall in the South East is lower than in much of the UK, but outside sealant still needs a dry, clean surface, so outdoor work is planned around the forecast.
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oakley Church of England Combined School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of St Mary include some older properties, and old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

What affects the quote in Oakley
Every job gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many rooms, windows or areas are involved
- The type of sealant required
- Whether there’s mould to deal with
- The old material and how stubborn it is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one gets its own quote. The number of joints, how easy they are to reach and the sealant needed all play a part, and we will explain the quote if you ask.
What to tell us for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to know:
- A few photos by email, if you can
- If it’s domestic, commercial or a hotel
- How we’d reach the joints
- Whether it has been sealed before
We quote each job on its own, so start by telling us what you need. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details, and pictures are welcome.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Different materials may need different primers. We prepare both faces so the sealant bonds properly.
Render joints
Rendered walls have joints at beads, openings and changes of material. We reseal them with a flexible exterior sealant that suits the render colour.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than do work that won’t last, so here’s what sealant cannot put right:
- Cracked brickwork or render that needs a builder or plasterer
- Rising or penetrating damp from elsewhere in the wall
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

How it works
We bring everything the job needs with us. Once we’ve agreed what’s being done, we protect the area and start. Most jobs take a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation. For a village or hamlet like Oakley, the journey is planned in advance: 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.
- The old mastic and anything lodged in the joint is removed.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod goes in next, setting the depth and keeping the sealant off the back of the joint.
- The new sealant, chosen to suit the brick or render, is applied and tooled to a neat finish.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the work
- Keep pets and children clear of the area while we work
- Let us know about stairs, lifts or work at height

Why act early in Oakley
Mortar or ordinary filler might look like a quick way to close an open joint, but it stops the joint moving. The movement then cracks the brickwork or render nearby. A flexible sealant over backing rod is what the joint needs. Older cottages and farmhouses around Oakley can have timber floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
