Why it’s worth doing now in Stratton Audley
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Halls, stores and units around places like Stratton Audley may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Stratton Audley
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. If you are dealing with window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, floor and skirting junctions and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Stratton Audley 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Stratton Audley bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from Stratton Audley clients
Is Stratton Audley off your patch?
No. Places such as Stratton Audley are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Would you work within a site like Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Include photographs or drawings if you have them.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
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 if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.

Advice
Doing it in-house
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
Kitchens and utility areas
Worktop upstands, sinks and splashbacks are sealed once the kitchen is fitted. The sealant is a kitchen-grade product, food-safe where food contact is possible.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Put any product change through the designer first
- Record the products used in the O&M file
- Brief following trades on areas that have been sealed
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. Damage by others isn’t a workmanship fault which is why protection after sealing matters.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
New build and refits around Stratton Audley
At about 53 miles from central London, Stratton Audley is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Stratton Audley is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Tower Hill Business Park (1.9 miles south-east of Stratton Audley), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. For contractors at a school such as Cooper School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as Bicester Community Hospital, 3 miles south-west of Stratton Audley, 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.
