External mastic in Sutton, done properly
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 so the joint does not stand out. If you have hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving and failed sealant between panels on a façade, we can put it right.
Older homes in small places like Sutton may be stone, brick or timber-framed, often with later extensions. The joints where those materials meet are the weak points.
Every job comes with a 12-month guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire.

Walls and rooflines in Sutton
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. With historic houses such as Appleton Manor (about 3.5 miles south-east) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Sutton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older brick and stone need a sealant that suits them, at the right joint depth.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Michael, old and new materials meet at the roofline and walls, which is where sealant earns its keep. Schools such as Stanton Harcourt CofE Primary School are buildings too, and its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Should I try it myself first?
Sealing over old silicone is the commonest DIY error. Silicone doesn’t stick to old silicone, so it lifts and traps water and mould underneath. Everything old must be removed 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.
What happens on the day
Good joint work is mostly preparation, so that’s where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access. In a small place like Sutton, access is usually the main thing to plan. For outside work, also let us know about exposed walls and any outbuildings involved.
- We start by walking round the building and agreeing the joints and the access.
- Every bit of old sealant and any mortar or debris is cut out.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- Backing rod sized to the joint goes in to set the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous sealing or DIY attempts
- Mention any leaks or damp you’ve noticed
- On commercial sites, let us know about site rules

Common questions in Sutton
Do you cover Sutton for external mastic?
Yes, Sutton is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. Just phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job.
Do you cover smaller places like Sutton?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our work covers London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the route when you book.
Can landlords and businesses book you?
Yes. As well as homeowners, we work for landlords, agents, businesses and hotels.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
It’s a deliberate gap that lets the wall expand and contract without cracking. It’s sealed with a flexible sealant, not mortar.
Where do you work from?
We’re a Crawley-based firm. Our area covers South East England, London and Scotland.
What colours does the sealant come in?
The sealant colour is picked to suit the wall. There’s a wide choice of exterior colours.
What do you put in the joint?
Each joint gets the product that suits it. Where it moves, gets wet or faces the weather makes a difference.
Can tenants book the work?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure your landlord agrees.
When something else is needed
New sealant can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not solve:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Cracking across the wall rather than at a joint
- Damp that isn’t coming from the joint
If you are not sure, just call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work in Sutton
- Render & cladding joints
- Concrete & block
- Façade panels
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
- Copings & trims
Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Never let anyone fill a movement joint with mortar
- Look over the joints every year, ideally after winter
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Point out the joints to other trades
Do not paint over the new sealant unless we’ve said the product is paintable. Paint can crack on a flexible joint, and paint can crack as the joint moves.
Small splits are the time to act. Then it’s a straightforward cut-out and reseal before water has had years to get in.
Why act early in Sutton
Running new sealant over the old bead rarely lasts. The new layer cannot bond properly to old, weathered material, so we always take the old sealant out. In a small place like Sutton, homes can be exposed to wind and rain, which finds any gap, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
A few things move the cost up or down: how much old sealant there is and how stubborn it is, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.
What you get with us
- Anti-fungal silicone where joints get wet
- ARBOMaster approved applicator
- White, clear, grey or another colour, product permitting
- Colour picked to suit the job

When to call us in Sutton
UV, rain and frost all age exterior sealant. Over the years it hardens, cracks on the surface and loses its give, so the next time the wall moves, it splits or pulls away.
It’s worth asking for a quote if you see:
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Hard, crazed mastic that has stopped moving
For landlords with property near Hanborough station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
