Walton Manor External Mastic
We cover Walton Manor for sealing brickwork movement joints, render, cladding and façade joints. Old sealant removed completely, joints prepared properly.
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Old sealant gone brittle and cracked
- Sealant pulling away from one side of the joint
How we handle external mastic in Walton Manor
Joints between dissimilar materials, like brick against render or concrete against a steel frame, see movement from both sides. A flexible exterior sealant takes up that movement where mortar or filler would crack. We work on façade panels, render & cladding joints and joints between brick and frames, and people most often call us about leaking joints around cladding and façade panels and sealant pulling away from one side of the joint.
Houses in smaller places like Walton Manor can stand more in the open than those in a built-up town, so exposed walls and rooflines take more wind-driven rain. That’s where gutter joints and wall joints tend to fail first.

Outside joints around Walton Manor
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK, though outdoor sealant still has to go onto a dry joint, so the forecast decides the day. Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 1 mile south-east) are a reminder that the area around Walton Manor has older buildings as well as new. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you let a flat or house near Oxford station, outside joints that have cracked can let damp into a rental, so check them between lets. Holywell Manor, about 1 mile south-east, is one of the historic houses in the wider area around Walton Manor, and older homes nearby need a sealant that suits their walls.

What sealant work can’t fix
It helps to know what we can’t do:
- Structural movement, which needs a surveyor or engineer
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
- Cracks in the bricks or render themselves, away from the joints
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work in Walton Manor
- Concrete & block
- Brickwork movement joints
- Joints between brick and frames
- Copings & trims
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
What we are called out for in Walton Manor
Every building moves. 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.
Look out for these signs:
- Weeds or debris growing in open joints
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Failed sealant between panels on a façade
Managing a site like St Aloysius' Catholic Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.

Walton Manor: your questions answered
Can you help a landlord with a rental near Oxford station?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as homeowners, and several properties can be quoted together. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and what needs doing, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Do you cover Walton Manor for external mastic?
Yes. We work across London and the South East, and Walton Manor is part of that. Just ring 0345 464 0079 or send us an email with a few details of the job, and we’ll give you a clear price.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured.
How long does the job take?
Most jobs take a few hours to a few days, depending on the length of joint and the access, including the preparation. We’ll confirm how long when we quote.
How long should I leave it?
Different products cure at different speeds, so follow the cure time we give you.
Why is there a gap in my brick wall?
A vertical gap in a long brick wall is generally a movement joint. It lets the bricks expand without cracking, and it should be sealed with a flexible sealant.
How much does external mastic cost in Walton Manor?
Size, access and the old material all affect the cost. Ask us for a quote and we’ll talk you through it.
Can you seal over the old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant doesn’t stick to old sealant, and it traps any mould or water underneath. We remove it all first.
How we quote for external mastic

What we do, step by step
Most of a good job is in the preparation, so that is where we spend the time. Joints are cleaned back and dried before anything new goes in. All told, the work takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building. A visit to Walton Manor is planned like any other: the time, the access and where to park are agreed in advance. If the work is outside, the weather plays a part, as sealant needs a dry surface.
- 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.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- We apply the sealant, tool it and check the whole run.
How to prepare
- Mention any tricky access
- Try not to wet indoor joints just before the visit
- Mention any sign-in or site rules at work premises

Looking after it afterwards
Once the sealant has cured, a few habits help it last:
- Keep soil, plants and ivy away from the joints
- Wash walls gently around the sealant
- Have failed joints looked at early
- Make sure movement joints aren’t pointed over
Don’t let soil, plants or ivy build up against the new joints. Anything that holds water against the joint wears it out sooner.
If you can see gaps, plants or bare sections in a joint, have it checked. Early work is quicker and leaves a better finish.
