Sealant specialists in Cowley
We’ve applied sealant on commercial sites for over 20 years, and the paperwork side is in order: we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. If your site needs RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, say so and we will confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away and shrunken sealant along kitchen worktops and splashbacks, across washrooms and tea points, movement joints in walls and floors and external facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Cowley tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In Cowley, as anywhere, the first joints to go are typically the ones that work hardest: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Small businesses near places like Cowley frequently occupy converted farm buildings. Those conversions put new frames and partitions against old brick, stone or timber, so each joint needs a product chosen for both surfaces.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a few hours to several days on most single sites, depending on joint lengths and access, and we clear our waste as we work. Work in places the size of Cowley is planned as a single visit where we can. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- First, details come to us: photographs, drawings or a schedule of the areas.
- Next comes a diagnosis and a fixed quote.
- Site hours, access windows and the order of areas are agreed before we start.
- The failed bead is removed and the joint faces cleaned until they’re sound and dry.
- Backing and primer go in where needed, then the chosen sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each area is inspected, signed off and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Your questions answered
Is Cowley off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does your area include sites such as Templars Shopping Park, near Cowley?
Yes. Our area takes in Cowley and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Templars Shopping Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
On older buildings, our first request is the asbestos survey. Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Different surfaces, different methods
Facade and cladding joints
Facade sealant failures can be hard to spot from the ground. Close-up photos or a site visit tell us what’s needed, and we will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Fire-rated seals where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the product’s tested detail. Fire-stopping design and sign-off sit with the designer, fire engineer or building control, and we install to the specification.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Leaking roofs, gutters or flat-roof membranes (those need a roofer)
- Old mastic that tests positive for asbestos
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Movement joints in walls and floors
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Washrooms and tea points
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Floor and threshold joints
Cost factors for sealant joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Working on commercial sites near Cowley
Less than 3 miles from Cowley there are at least three named estates and business parks. Tenant changes on such sites bring fit-outs, and fit-outs bring new joints. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Cowley. A hotel refurbishment is full of joints that guests will see, and a matched colour keeps them discreet.
Retail sites such as Templars Shopping Park (to the west of Cowley) are typical of where shop-fit joints, frontages and staff areas need neat, colour-matched sealant. Units at places like Templars Square, under half a mile to the south-west of Cowley, are refitted as brands change, and the joints have to suit each new scheme. Offices and shops close to stations such as Oxford station (to the north-west of Cowley) tend to be busy all day, so sealant work is planned around opening hours.

Why deal with it now?
A failed seal around a window, worktop or panel doesn’t mean the element itself has to go. In many cases the element is fine and only the seal around it has given up. Resealing normally costs far less than renewal, and we’ll say so if the frame or fitting is life-expired. In a smaller place such as Cowley, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
