Commercial clients in Shutford
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Shutford can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Shutford
Since 2005 we’ve worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. Quantities come off the drawings, the sequence is agreed with the site manager and the work follows the trades. To price a package in Shutford, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. The enquiries we see most involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, on cladding and panel joints, brick and block movement joints and floor and skirting junctions. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Shutford, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For a site near Shutford, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photos and the programme and we will quote to suit.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

New build and refits around Shutford
Shutford 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. At about 69 miles from central London, Shutford is within reach of the capital. 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.
Historic houses such as Broughton Castle, 2.4 miles to the south-east of Shutford, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. Further education sites such as Wroxton College, 2 miles to the east of Shutford, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Horton General Hospital, which lies east of Shutford, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Use the product the specification names
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault, so protecting sealed areas matters.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk

Your questions answered
Is Shutford off your patch?
No. Places such as Shutford are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Wroxton College for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We can work through a mastic snag list area by area before handover.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
What the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Acrylic caulk fills internal gaps around trims, boards and frames ahead of decorating. It’s for gaps that stay still and get painted.
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
