Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Construction mastic in Appleford-on-Thames, done properly
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. Site teams most often ask us about existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across floor and skirting junctions, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Appleford-on-Thames it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Appleford-on-Thames bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Advice
Quoting for work in Appleford-on-Thames
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Travel to remote or island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- When you need the work done
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
When to bring in a specialist
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 easy to get wrong without experience.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.

Contractors’ notes for Appleford-on-Thames
Appleford-on-Thames sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Appleford-on-Thames lies roughly 50 miles out from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
With historic properties like Clifton Hampden Manor (to the north-east of Appleford-on-Thames) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. For contractors at a school such as Didcot Girls' School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Didcot Hospital (2.5 miles south of Appleford-on-Thames) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
