How we handle external mastic in Wytham
Ground-floor and low-level joints are straightforward to reach. For joints higher up, give us some details of the building and we’ll confirm what access is needed. Typical jobs include joints pointed up with cement by mistake and failed sealant between panels on a façade, across copings & trims, concrete & block and façade panels.
Somewhere as small as Wytham, homes and farm buildings often face open ground, 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.
All our work comes with a 12-month guarantee.

Why it’s worth doing now in Wytham
A low-modulus sealant is chosen because it moves without pulling hard at the edges. That matters on brick, render and concrete, which can be weaker at the face. A stiffer product can damage the joint edge as it fails. Around Wytham, older homes often have timber in their floors and frames, where water from a failed joint can cause rot if it’s left.
The cost depends on how much there is to do, how hard the old material is to remove and access to the work. We give a clear quote before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
So the new joints stay in good condition:
- Leave the joints unpainted unless we have said otherwise
- Show decorators and builders where the movement joints are
- Act on the first splits you see
- Make sure movement joints are not pointed over
Avoid pressure-washing straight into the joints. A strong jet can damage the edges of the bead and let water in behind.
Water getting behind cladding or render can go unnoticed for a long time. When it finally shows inside, the joint may have been open for years so early resealing is worth it.
Wytham questions
I let a flat near Oxford Parkway station. Can you help?
Yes. We work for landlords and agents as well as householders, and several properties can go on one quote. You can call 0345 464 0079 or email us with the details for a clear quote.
Is Wytham in your area for external mastic?
Yes, Wytham is within the area we cover. Our work covers London and the South East. You can phone 0345 464 0079 or send us an email and let us know what needs doing, and we will give you a clear price.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, always. There’s a 12-month guarantee on every job.
Can you quote for more than one area?
Yes, and it often makes sense. Doing several areas at once is normally more efficient, so mention them when you ask for a quote.
Do you work for hotels and businesses?
Yes, regularly. We can plan bigger jobs in stages.
What sealant do you use?
We choose the sealant for the joint, not the other way round. Movement, water and weather all affect the choice.
Do you take out the old sealant first?
Always. Sealing over the old bead is the commonest cause of early failure, so we never do it.
Are you an approved applicator?
Yes. Mr Mastic is an ARBOMaster approved applicator and we’re fully insured too.
Surface by surface
Joints between dissimilar materials
Wherever two materials meet, they move differently. We seal the joint with a flexible exterior sealant so the movement is taken up.
Render joints
Render has movement joints and stop beads that need sealing. They’re resealed in a sealant that suits the render.
Do you need external mastic in Wytham?
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. All of that ends up in the joint sealant.
Look out for these signs:
- Weathered mastic that no longer stretches
- Moss and dirt in joints with no sealant left
- Damp patches traced to an open external joint
- Gaps where render, brick and frames meet
For site and facilities teams at buildings such as Oxford Academy, larger buildings have long runs of movement joint that eventually need resealing.
What your quote should include
- Is VAT in the price?
- How long to leave it before use
- How the surfaces are prepared before sealing
- The length of the guarantee

Walls and rooflines in Wytham
Historic houses like Holywell Manor (about 3.1 miles south-east) are a reminder that the area around Wytham 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. 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 All Saints include some older properties, and older walls, gutters and the joints where extensions meet them need a flexible sealant. If you let a flat or house near Oxford Parkway station, split movement joints are easy to miss on a rental until damp shows inside.
