About our construction mastic in Bicester
External mastic depends on the weather in a way most internal trades don’t. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. If you have window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and new external sealant already peeling away, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bicester first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Many towns of Bicester’s size have older buildings being converted or extended, so new windows and cladding meet old masonry. Getting the product and primer right for both faces is what keeps those joints sound.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Facades, frames and programmes in Bicester
The area within 2 miles of Bicester holds a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Rainfall across the South East, Bicester included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Talisman Business Centre, 0.8 miles to the south of Bicester, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hospital estates such as Bicester Community Hospital, under half a mile south of Bicester, 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. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Littlebury Hotel, which lies south of Bicester, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Bicester
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Designing joint widths or choosing the specification (that sits with the designer)
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Window and door perimeters

- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
On commercial kitchen fit-outs, hygienic sealants are often specified. We follow the specification and seal to a smooth, cleanable finish.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
On site: what to expect
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Town-centre premises in Bicester may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. Industrial and business units typically have yard or car park space.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Use the product the specification names
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Note which sealant went where at handover
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Your questions answered
Can you keep pace with our programme in Bicester?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Talisman Business Centre, by Bicester?
Yes, sites like Talisman Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Bicester. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will you stick to the specified products?
We follow the specified sealant. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
