Construction mastic in Shabbington
We work to the specification and the programme. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and mastic snags holding up handover. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Shabbington, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Shabbington is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Mastic packages on Shabbington sites
Shabbington sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Shabbington lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Hospital estates such as Thame Community Hospital, 3 miles east of Shabbington, 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. Historic houses such as Adwell House (4.9 miles south of Shabbington) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Projects at schools like Ickford School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Shabbington is about 3 miles west of Thame, in Buckinghamshire. Anywhere in HP18, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. We work across 308 places in Buckinghamshire, large and small. There’s a separate page for Oxford, roughly 8 miles from Shabbington.
If you need construction mastic in HP18, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

We also cover Little Ickford (1 mile west), Ickford (1 mile west), North Weston (1 mile south-east), Draycott (1 mile south-west) and Albury (1 mile south-west) for mastic packages.

Cost factors for mastic packages
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
Pricing mastic packages depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Put any product change through the designer first
Once an area is sealed, protect it from following trades. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Cladding and panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
General trades versus a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shabbington
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Older rural buildings around Shabbington 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 often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.

Advice
Your questions answered
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Thame Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Is Shabbington too far out for you?
No. Places such as Shabbington are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
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.
