Common questions from Hardwick clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Bicester Community Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Is a smaller place like Hardwick outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you clear a mastic snag list before handover?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover and damaged joints are redone properly.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you fit around our programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Areas are sealed as they’re released by the site team, and we will raise anything that holds the work up.
Construction mastic in Hardwick
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. For construction mastic on a scheme in Hardwick, send drawings through our quote form, or phone or email us to talk it through. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and mastic snags holding up handover. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hardwick, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Hardwick can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Work we carry out in Oxfordshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. A planned sweep of each plot or floor catches the lot in one go, and avoids repeated visits. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. Converted and older buildings near places like Hardwick tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
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.

New build and refits around Hardwick
Hardwick 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. Hardwick is about 56 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
On a healthcare site such as Bicester Community Hospital, 4.6 miles south of Hardwick, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. New units and refits on sites such as Baynards Green Trading Estate (1.8 miles west of Hardwick) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.
Hardwick is about 4 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. We cover Hardwick, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Our Oxford page has more on work in that area.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout OX27. Sites close to Hardwick are covered too, including Hethe (1 mile east), Stoke Lyne (1 mile south-west), Fringford (2 miles east), Bucknell (3 miles south-west) and Stratton Audley (3 miles south-east). Bigger towns within reach include Oxford (15 miles south), Banbury (10 miles north-west), Bicester (4 miles south), Kidlington (11 miles south-west), Headington Quarry (14 miles south) and Bure Park (4 miles south).
Landmarks near Hardwick
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to Whitmore Arms Public House and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Bicester North station, about 4.2 miles south of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Ardley Castle (2.8 miles south-west) and Bicester Community Hospital (4.6 miles south).
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Surface by surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. A kitchen-suitable sealant is used and hygienic or food-safe grades wherever food contact is possible.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it and work only when conditions suit.
Doing it in-house
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.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
