Walls and rooflines in Piddington
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. Historic houses like Boarstall Tower (about 2.1 miles south-west) are a reminder that the area around Piddington 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.
Letting a property close to Bicester Village station? Then split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside. In the older streets around Church of St Nicholas, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep.

How it works
All our tools and materials come with us in the van. Once we have agreed what’s being done, the area is protected and the work begins. It normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Somewhere like Piddington needs a little journey planning: 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.
- Old sealant and any debris are cut and raked out.
- The joint faces are cleaned and primed where the sealant needs it.
- We push in closed-cell backing rod so the sealant is the right depth and bonds to the sides only.
- A flexible exterior sealant is applied and tooled in a colour to suit the wall.
How to prepare
- For business premises, tell us about site rules or sign-in
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can

Questions from Piddington
Can you do external mastic in Piddington?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Piddington is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with a few details of the job.
Is Piddington within the area you cover?
Yes. Piddington is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over old sealant is the main reason resealing fails early, so we never do it.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Joints between dissimilar materials are a big part of external work. The sealant is chosen to bond to both sides, primed where needed.
Which products do you use?
Quality sealants from brands including Arbo and Everbuild, picked for each joint. We will tell you what we’re using and why.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We choose a sealant colour to suit the brick, stone or render, so the joint sits quietly in the wall. Exterior sealants come in a good range of colours.
What do you need from me for a quote?
A short description and the location, plus pictures if you have them. If we need more, we’ll ask.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It should be filled with flexible sealant, never mortar.

What affects the quote in Piddington
For a quick quote, just ask. What matters most is:
- Access and height
- Which sealant suits the joint
- When we can work, for business premises
- The number of rooms or windows
Every job is a little different, 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.
What we need to know
You do not need to know the technical terms. Just tell us:
- Photos by email, if that’s easy
- Any access issues, like height or stairs
- Where the job is, and your postcode
- The problem you’ve noticed
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Let us know the location, the problem and roughly how many joints.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. Where one has been mortared, we cut it out and reseal it with sealant where it can be done safely.
Render joints
The face of render can be soft, so a sealant that stretches easily protects the edges. We prime where the product needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the joints last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
Give the sealant the cure time we tell you before anything rubs against it. The surface skins over quickly, but full cure takes longer.
Once a joint can’t move, the wall finds another way, often as cracks near the joint. Catch it early and you reduce the risk.
Work for landlords, hotels and businesses
Landlords and agents in Piddington can book us as well as homeowners. Sealant work between tenants keeps a property looking cared for.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s easy to sort out between tenants. Several properties can be quoted together.
When it isn’t the sealant
It helps to know what we cannot do too:
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If in doubt, ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Can I do it myself?
Some sealant jobs are within reach of a careful DIYer, such as a straightforward joint indoors. The common mistakes are sealing over old sealant, sealing a damp joint and using far too much.
The difference is mostly in the preparation and the product. We take joints back to clean, dry surfaces, and the sealant is chosen for how the joint moves and where it is.
