How the visit works
There’s no need to move everything out before we come, just the space around the work. We protect the rest, and the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building for a typical job. For a village or hamlet like South Weston, the journey is planned in advance: let us know about lanes, gates and parking. We bring what the job needs, so it can be finished in one trip where possible.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- Joint faces are cleaned back and primed if the sealant needs it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention if the joints have been sealed before
- Mention any parking rules near the property
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed

How we handle external mastic in South Weston
Failed sealant is cut out, the depth set with closed-cell backing rod, and the joint resealed with a low-modulus sealant made for outside. We pick a colour that sits well with the wall. If you’re dealing with weeds or debris growing in open joints and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint, we can put it right, on joints between brick and frames, brickwork movement joints and façade panels alike.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around South Weston is planned for dry weather. Tell us about access to all sides of the building, including outbuildings and garages.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, in South Weston and everywhere else we cover.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do too:
- Walls that need new movement joints cut into them
- Render that’s blown, hollow or coming away
- Movement that’s more than a sealant joint can take
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Keeping the joints in good condition
After the cure time, these simple habits help:
- Deal with leaking gutters that soak the joints below
- Check external joints each spring
- Do not let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
Keep pressure washers away from the sealant. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
An open movement joint lets rain into the wall every time it pours. That can lead to damp patches, staining and frost damage.
Common questions in South Weston
Is South Weston within the area you cover?
Yes. South Weston is within the area we cover, which takes in towns, villages and rural addresses. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can you do external mastic in South Weston?
Yes, South Weston is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job.
Will it make a mess?
No. We work neatly, protect the area around the joints and tidy up afterwards.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. We remove every bit of old sealant first.
Are you ARBOMaster approved?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator.
Is it OK to fill a movement joint with cement?
No. Cement or mortar cannot stretch, so the joint stops doing its job. If it has already been filled, we can normally cut it out and reseal it.
Is there any odour?
That depends on the sealant. Some smell for a while, some hardly at all, and any smell fades as they cure.
How long does the job take?
As a guide, most jobs take anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. Bigger jobs take longer.
What external mastic looks like in South Weston
With historic houses such as Adwell House (about 0.9 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around South Weston as well as newer homes. 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.
In the older streets around St Lawrence, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant.
South Weston is about 5 miles south of Thame, in Oxfordshire. Every kind of property in South Weston is covered for external mastic, old or new, large or small. The work is guaranteed for a year. South Weston is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work for external mastic. We also work in Oxford, about 12 miles from South Weston.
Work in OX9 works the same way as everywhere else we cover. You’ll find streets such as Weston Road and Rectory Lane, all of which we cover. Neighbouring places we cover for external mastic include Lewknor (1 mile south-east), Postcombe (1 mile north-east), Shirburn (2 miles south), Aston Rowant (2 miles east) and Kingston Blount (2 miles east).

For landlords and businesses
Water getting past a failed joint can damage the building, which is a bigger problem in a rented property. Keeping joints in good order is simple maintenance that we can handle for you.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Tell us the address, the job and how access works and we’ll quote.
Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a run of joints in one go is normally better than patching one at a time. Joints of the same age tend to fail together, and access only has to be arranged once. Around South Weston, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
Instead of a standard rate, we price the job in front of us: how many joints, what’s in them now and how we reach them. You’ll know the price before we begin.

Surface by surface
Cladding and façade panels
Cladding and façade panels are usually separated by sealed joints. Each joint gets a sealant that suits the panel and its movement.
Brickwork movement joints
People sometimes point up a brick movement joint by mistake. If that’s happened, we rake it out and reseal it properly where it can be done safely.
What we’re called out for in South Weston
Using the wrong sealant is another common reason. A high-modulus or general-purpose sealant can be too rigid for a busy joint, and it tears off the sides.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
- Movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
Managing a site like Lewknor Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
