External & façade joints in Oving, Buckinghamshire
Movement joints in Oving need attention? We cut out the old, prepare the joints and apply the right sealant, and the work is guaranteed for a year.
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Leaking joints around cladding and façade panels
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
When to call us in Oving
Many joints fail because they were sealed too deep or with nothing behind them. Sealant bonded to three sides has nowhere to go and rips as the joint opens.
The most common problems we see are:
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
- Failed seals between different materials
- Joints with sealant missing in places
For landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.

External mastic in Oving, done properly
Joints in render and cladding are easy to overlook until a damp patch appears. We inspect them, agree which need doing and reseal with a weatherproof, flexible sealant in a matching colour. We work on brickwork movement joints, copings & trims and façade panels, and people most often call us about cracked joints where brick meets render or frames and rain getting behind render or cladding at a joint.
Outside joints can only be sealed when they’re dry, so work in Oving is booked around the forecast. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with our work within the year, let us know and we will sort it.

FAQs for Oving
Will you come out to Oving?
Yes, Oving is covered. Our work covers London and the South East, and smaller places are part of that. Longer journeys are simply planned in advance.
Do you work for landlords with property near Aylesbury Vale Parkway station?
Yes, landlords and agents are among the people we work for. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with the details for a clear quote.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall so the joint blends in. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
Will there be a smell?
Possibly a little. Any smell clears as the sealant cures, and ventilation helps.
What information do you need?
Only a few details: the address or postcode, what’s wrong and any access issues. After that, simply call 0345 464 0079 or email us.
Can new sealant go over the old?
No, and we never do. It can look neat for a few weeks, but the new bead soon lifts. Removing the old sealant completely is the only lasting way.
Do I have to be there?
It depends on the job. Inside work needs someone to give us access.
What sealant do you use?
The product depends on the job: sanitary silicone where it gets wet, and sealants suited to movement or weather elsewhere. We use products from Arbo and Everbuild.
How it works
When we arrive, we look over the joints with you first, so you know exactly what we are doing. Surfaces next to the work are protected before any work begins. Most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Oving needs a little journey planning: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip 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.
- Backing rod goes in so the sealant can stretch between the two faces.
- We prime the faces where required.
- We gun in low-modulus sealant and tool it neatly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as stairs, a lift or high-level joints
- Plan for the work area to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Where the joints are inside, avoid wetting them before we arrive

Oving buildings and the weather
Historic houses like Waddesdon Manor (about 4.5 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Oving 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. Compared with the north and west, the South East gets less rain, yet outdoor joints still have to be sealed dry, so jobs are booked with the weather in mind.
If you look after a building such as Whitchurch Combined School, its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s. Homes close to Church of All Saints include some older properties, and an extension built onto an older house moves differently, and the joint between them takes the strain.

How to look after the new joints
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
Have a quick look at the joints each spring. Splits, gaps at the edges or plants in the joint are early warning signs.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding and façade panels
Panels heat up and cool down quickly, so the joints work hard every day. The sealant is chosen with that in mind.
Brickwork movement joints
Brick movement joints are often mistaken for a missing mortar line. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly.
Why act early in Oving
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. New sealant doesn’t bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. In a small place like Oving, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and damp in older walls is slow to dry out.
What it costs depends on the size of the job, how much old material has to come out and how easy the joints are to reach. We give a clear quote before we start, so you know where you stand.
