Advice
How we handle construction mastic in Broughton
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. The enquiries we see most involve external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and mastic snags holding up handover, across sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Broughton, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places like Broughton, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Oxford and Cherwell Valley College?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Surface by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer and we install what’s specified.
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting before sealing starts.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
New build and refits around Broughton
Broughton sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Broughton is about 67 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as The Horton General Hospital (2.2 miles east of Broughton), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. When a college such as Oxford and Cherwell Valley College (1.9 miles north-east of Broughton) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX15 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, large and small. Oxford is covered too, around 21 miles from Broughton.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout OX15, whatever the building. If your site is on Danvers Close, Danvers Road and Wykham Lane or close by, we can quote for mastic packages. Just outside Broughton, we also work in North Newington (1 mile north), Neithrop (2 miles north-east), Ruscote (2 miles north-east), Bloxham (2 miles south) and Drayton (2 miles north). Nearby towns on our patch include Bicester (14 miles south-east), Bure Park (13 miles south-east), Chipping Norton (10 miles south-west), Grimsbury (3 miles north-east), Woodstock (14 miles south) and Bodicote (3 miles east).
Local landmarks in Broughton
Around Broughton, our work takes us to commercial buildings near The Roebuck Public House, The Warriner School and Tudor Hall School. The nearest railway station is Banbury station, about 2.7 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Bloxham Village Museum (1.8 miles south) and Castle Quay Shopping Centre (2.6 miles north-east). Open spaces near Broughton include Crouch Hill and Woodford Bottom and Lamb's Pool.
Common problems we fix in Broughton
A joint without backing rod or bond-breaker often fails early. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
Older buildings in the area around Broughton, such as Broughton Castle, 0.3 miles to the south-west of Broughton, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.
What to look for in a quote

What else we do in Broughton
Building owners, agents and FMs in Broughton
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Broughton. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
