How we handle construction mastic in Enslow

Mastic Doctor has been a subcontractor on construction projects for over 20 years. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. For construction mastic on a scheme in Enslow, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. The enquiries we see most involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and cladding and panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Enslow first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.

Sites around smaller places like Enslow can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Leave it or put it right?

On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Older rural buildings around Enslow move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: 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.

Enslow: questions and answers

Is a smaller place like Enslow outside your area?

No. Places such as Enslow are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.

Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Enslow?

Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.

Do you take on mastic snagging only?

It carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.

Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.

Owners, agents and contractors

Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Enslow can form part of a wider programme across Oxfordshire.

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.

Construction mastic in Enslow: the local picture

Central London is about 57 miles from Enslow. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. Rainfall across the South East, Enslow included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.

Older buildings in the area around Enslow, such as Blenheim Palace, 3 miles south-west of Enslow, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When a school such as Bletchingdon Parochial Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New units and refits on sites such as Oxford Spires Business Park, 1.9 miles south of Enslow, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Enslow is about 7 miles south-west of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Any commercial site in Enslow is covered. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, large and small. Our Oxford page has more on work in that area.

Commercial sites across OX5 are covered for mastic packages. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Station Road, Lince Lane and Ingleby Paddocks and the roads nearby. If your building is just outside Enslow, we cover Bletchingdon (1 mile east), Kirtlington (1 mile north-east), Hampton Poyle (2 miles south-east), Kidlington (3 miles south) and Weston-on-the-Green (3 miles east). Further afield, our area takes in Oxford (8 miles south), Banbury (14 miles north), Bicester (7 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (13 miles south), Witney (10 miles south-west) and Carterton (14 miles south-west).

When to bring in a specialist

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.

Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.

When it isn’t the sealant

Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:

  • Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
  • Approving fire stopping as compliant
  • Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Brick and block movement joints
  • Sanitary and kitchen joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Floor and skirting junctions
  • Cladding and panel joints
  • Internal decorators’ caulk

Cost factors for mastic packages

What shapes the price:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • Access and working height
  • How much there is to seal
  • Which sealant the job calls for

Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

What to include in your enquiry

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • How the joints are reached, and at what height
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Where the site is, with the postcode

Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

How a job runs

A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work usually takes anything from a day of snagging to several weeks of plot-by-plot sealing on a phased scheme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Smaller jobs around Enslow can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.

  1. We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
  2. A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
  3. Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
  4. We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
  5. Problems we find, such as oversized gaps, are raised right away.
  6. The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Let building users know which areas are affected
  • For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
