Sunningwell External Mastic
Sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints in Sunningwell, with a 12-month guarantee on every job. Ask us for a quote.
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Water getting into walls through failed joints
Leave it or put it right?
Done well, a resealed joint is a neat, straight line that suits the wall. A hurried job with smeared edges and no backing looks worse and fails sooner. Around Sunningwell, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, and water through a failed joint can rot timber if it’s left.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, whether mould needs treating, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

- Sealant colour chosen to suit
- Full insurance on every job

External mastic in Sunningwell, done properly
Low-level joints can normally be done from the ground. Where joints are higher up, tell us about the building when you get in touch and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Common call-outs are for old sealant gone brittle and cracked and movement joints filled with mortar instead of sealant, on concrete & block, copings & trims and brickwork movement joints.
External sealant needs dry, clean surfaces, so work around Sunningwell is planned for dry weather. Let us know about access to every wall, plus any garages or outbuildings.
All of our work is guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you are.

External mastic in Sunningwell: local notes
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 Appleton Manor (about 3.2 miles west) are a reminder that the area around Sunningwell has older buildings as well as new. Where a home is older, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
Schools such as Sunningwell Church of England Primary School are buildings too, and movement joints, cladding joints and gutters on larger buildings need the same care as a house’s. For an older house near a landmark such as Church of St Leonard, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Radley station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets.
Sunningwell is about 2 miles north of Abingdon-on-Thames, in Oxfordshire. Sunningwell gets the same service as everywhere we cover: the old material taken out, joints prepared properly and a 12-month guarantee. Our area takes in 443 places across Oxfordshire, from the larger towns to small villages.

The process
Our applicators work methodically: protection first, then preparation, sealing and a tidy-up. For most jobs that takes a few hours for a handful of joints, longer for a whole elevation, and the area is left clean. For a village or hamlet like Sunningwell, the journey is planned in advance: tell us about narrow lanes, gates, long drives and where we can park. Everything for the job comes with us, so a second trip is avoided where possible.
- We look at every joint and agree a colour to suit the wall.
- Failed sealant is removed back to clean, sound faces.
- Closed-cell backing rod is pushed in so the sealant bonds to two sides only.
- Primer is applied wherever the sealant needs it.
- A low-modulus exterior sealant is gunned in and tooled to a neat finish.
How to prepare
- Tell us if parking is tricky
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises
- Let us know about earlier repairs to the joints

For landlords and businesses
We also work for businesses, from offices to washrooms and kitchens. For commercial premises, we can talk through working times when we quote.
Mouldy or split sealant often shows up at the end of a tenancy, and it’s quick to put right between tenancies. Several properties can be quoted together.
Should I try it myself first?
What a professional job adds is preparation and the right product. Joints are cleaned back to sound surfaces and dried, and the sealant is matched to the joint and its conditions, then guaranteed for a year.
Overfilling a joint is a classic DIY mistake. A heavy bead looks messy and copes badly with movement, and getting the depth right matters as much as the look.
What sealant work cannot fix
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- Damp that is not coming from the joint
- Subsidence or other structural problems
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Sunningwell: your questions answered
Do you cover Sunningwell for external mastic?
Yes, Sunningwell is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just call 0345 464 0079 or email us with a few details of the job, and we will send you a clear quote.
Is Sunningwell within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Tell us about everything you’d like done.
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. The old sealant has to come out completely.
Do you seal joints where cladding meets other materials?
Yes. Different materials move at different rates, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, we do. Domestic, commercial and hotel work are all part of what we do, and we are fully insured.
When will the joints need doing again?
That varies with the weather the wall faces, how much it moves and the sealant used. Treat it as a maintenance item and look at it yearly and reseal when it splits.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare tips
Joint life depends on how it’s used and looked after. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t let climbing plants root in the sealant
- Avoid pressure-washing directly into sealant joints
- Ask before painting over external sealant
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. High-pressure water can lift the edges.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Earlier resealing means a smaller job and a better result.
