Commercial mastic work in Shellingford
Mastic Doctor has been sealing joints for businesses and contractors since 2005: we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we carry five million pounds of public liability insurance. Let us know which site documents you need and they’ll be confirmed with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about smeared sealant across finishes from a rushed job and frame mastic that has hardened and come away from the wall, on washrooms and tea points, kitchen worktops and splashbacks and movement joints in walls and floors. For commercial sealant work in Shellingford, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
On a typical commercial building in Shellingford, the joints that fail first are the hardest-worked ones: frame perimeters in the sun, floor joints at doorways and anything that gets wet every day.
Rural business units near smaller places such as Shellingford are frequently converted agricultural buildings. Their mix of old walls with new frames, partitions and floors means many joints between unlike materials, and a sealant colour that suits the building’s character is often part of the brief.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Commercial premises in Shellingford
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Shellingford. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Shellingford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, outside sealing waits for a dry joint, and cold, damp mornings can delay it.
If you run an office at a site such as Stanford in the Vale Business Park, which lies east of Shellingford, the sealant at reception desks, tea points and frames ages with each fit-out. A business with units at Stanford in the Vale Business Park and Stanford Business Park needn’t use two contractors for its sealant.
Shellingford is about 6 miles north-west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. Across the SN7 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Shellingford: questions and answers
Is Shellingford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Shellingford is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you match sealant colours for premises in Shellingford?
Yes. Colour matching to frames, cladding, stone and shop-fit finishes is a regular part of the work. The quote lists the colours the product is made in.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can areas stay open during the work?
Most of the buildings we work in stay occupied. We agree the order of areas, protect what’s nearby and close off only the section we’re sealing.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The site address and postcode
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What else we do in Shellingford
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. If others near Shellingford need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- We diagnose the cause of failure and price a fixed scope.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Old sealant is cut out completely, never sealed over.
- A suitable product for each joint goes in at the right depth and is tooled.
- A final walk-round, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Look at the sealant around anything that has been moved or replaced
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Put external and wet-area joints on a regular inspection round
- Don’t let cleaning or traffic back on before the cure time is up
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Extraction that isn’t working keeps the joints wet, and mould follows damp. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Occupiers often notice failing sealant before the facilities team does, and in a hotel, office or shop it makes the whole space look neglected. Planned replacement saves fielding the same complaint again and again.
Commercial clients in Shellingford
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Water from a services leak rather than a joint
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
