How we handle external mastic in Stoke Lyne
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. Common call-outs are for sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render and water getting into walls through failed joints, across copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Stoke Lyne is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
Your job is guaranteed for a year, as with all our work.

Why act early in Stoke Lyne
An open joint keeps letting water into the wall with every downpour. In cold weather, frost can damage wet brick and render, so the damage spreads beyond the joint. Older cottages and farmhouses around Stoke Lyne can have timber floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. We take all of that into account in your quote.

Walls and rooflines in Stoke Lyne
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.
Homes close to Church of St Peter include some older properties, and the joints between older walls, newer extensions and the roofline need a sealant that can move.

Different surfaces, different methods
Concrete and blockwork
Concrete faces can be dusty and porous, so cleaning and priming matter. We prime where the sealant needs it before sealing.
Render joints
Water behind render can lead to blown patches. A sound joint keeps the render dry behind and helps it last.
When to call us in Stoke Lyne
Buildings move more than people expect. Brickwork grows a little over the years, blockwork and concrete shrink, and all of it moves with heat and moisture. The sealant in the movement joints takes that strain.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Joints where the bead has come unstuck
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Joints pointed up with cement by mistake
If you let a flat or house near Bicester North station, failed wall and movement joints let damp in, so they’re worth checking between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- What happens if they find a problem under the old sealant
- How long the guarantee is
- When the joint can take water or movement
- Are they insured?
