Why it’s worth doing now in Worton
Sealing over the top of old mastic doesn’t hold for long. New sealant does not bond well to old, weathered sealant, so the old joint is cut out fully first. Where a wall is exposed, as many are in small places like Worton, wind-driven rain gets into any failed joint, and older walls, once damp, take a long time to dry.
Some things make a job bigger or smaller: the old material and how easily it comes out, any mould to treat, and whether we need extra access for height. Your quote takes all of that into account.

External mastic for homes and businesses in Worton
We’re ARBOMaster approved applicators, and each external joint gets a sealant suited to it. Porous or awkward surfaces are primed where the sealant needs it. If you have brick movement joints where the sealant has split and failed seals between different materials, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Worton, older cottages and farm buildings often stand in the open, so walls and rooflines take the full force of wind and rain. Gutter joints and wall joints there need a sealant that can flex and stay put.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. If there’s a problem with it, please phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email.

Outside joints around Worton
London and the South East are among the drier parts 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 Blenheim Palace (about 3 miles north) nearby, there’s older building stock in the area around Worton as well as newer homes. In older buildings, older walls and rooflines need a sealant that moves with them and suits the material.
If you live in an older home near Church of St Peter, older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Hanborough station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
Worton is about 3 miles south-west of Kidlington, in Oxfordshire. Anywhere in OX29, our applicators can take on external mastic. Worton is one of 443 towns and villages in Oxfordshire where we work. There’s also a page for Oxford, about 6 miles away.
Work in OX29 works the same way as everywhere else we cover.

What we are called out for in Worton
A lot of failed joints come down to preparation: joint faces that were dusty or damp, unprimed where they needed it, or still carrying old sealant. The new sealant then lets go long before it should.
People generally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Plants rooting in failed movement joints
- Rigid filler in a joint that should flex
- Sealant that has lost its bond to the brick or render
- Brick movement joints where the sealant has split
Managing a site like St Peter's Church of England Primary School? Then its movement joints, gutters and trims need looking after like any other building’s.
What your quote should include
- What insurance they hold
- Which sealant they’ll use, and why
- Is VAT in the price?
- When the joint can take water or movement
What we can’t put right
We will always be straight with you, so here’s what new sealant will not do:
- Damp from another source, such as a leaking gutter or a bridged damp-proof course
- Adding movement joints to masonry that has none
- Failed render or damaged cladding panels
Not sure which it is? You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Render & cladding joints
- Façade panels
- Copings & trims
- Concrete & block
- Joints between brick and frames
- Brickwork movement joints
What happens on the day
At the end, we look at the finished work together and tell you how long to leave it. The work normally takes anything from a few hours to several days, depending on the building, depending on how much there is to do. In a small place like Worton, access is usually the main thing to plan. If the job is outside, mention outbuildings, exposed walls and how to reach them.
- First, the joints are inspected and the access agreed.
- We cut out the old mastic and rake out anything in the joint.
- The faces are brushed clean and primed where the product requires it.
- We fit closed-cell backing rod to control the depth.
- The exterior sealant is applied, tooled and checked along its length.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any water getting in
- For indoor joints, keep the area dry beforehand if you can
- Mention any tricky access
Getting a quote
A good description makes for an accurate quote. Tell us where the job is, what’s wrong and how much there is, and add pictures by email if you can.
Advice
What the job involves on each surface
Brickwork movement joints
Vertical joints in long brick walls let the brickwork expand without cracking. They’re resealed over backing rod with a low-modulus sealant coloured to suit the wall.
Concrete and blockwork
Blockwork and concrete shrink over time and move with the seasons. Their movement joints are sealed over backing rod with a flexible sealant.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple care keeps the joints in good condition. Our advice:
- Check the sealant is paintable before painting near it
- Keep high-pressure jets off the joints
- Keep movement joints as flexible joints, not mortar
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
Follow the cure time we give you before the joint is knocked or disturbed. Most exterior sealants skin fast but take longer to cure right through.
Leaks behind façade panels and render often go unseen. By the time there’s a damp patch, the damage can be well established, so it’s worth resealing at the first signs.
Your questions about external mastic in Worton
Is Worton in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Worton is within the area we cover. We work across London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or email us and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear quote.
I let a flat near Hanborough station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for letting agents and landlords. You can ring 0345 464 0079 or drop us an email with the address and a few details, and we’ll give you a fixed price before work begins.
Do I have to be there?
If the work is inside, we need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes. Each job is guaranteed for twelve months, wherever you are.
How long before the joint can be used?
Most sealants are touch-dry well before they’re fully cured. We’ll give you the cure time for the product we used.
Is it OK to seal over old sealant?
No. Fresh sealant does not stick to old sealant, and anything trapped underneath, including mould and water, stays there. We remove it all first.
Can you seal joints between render and window frames?
Yes. Materials like render, brick, metal and uPVC all move differently, so a flexible sealant is needed where they meet. The sealant is matched to both sides.
Can you match the colour of my brickwork?
We aim for a joint that suits the wall rather than one that jumps out. Colour is agreed with you before we begin from the range available.
