How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If others near Boars Hill need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.

Advice
Facade sealing in Boars Hill, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are facade joints cracked through the middle and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Boars Hill? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites around smaller places like Boars Hill can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare for building managers
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Share access with other external trades
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Older rural buildings around Boars Hill 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.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Boars Hill: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Wootton Business Park, close to Boars Hill?
Yes, sites like Wootton Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Boars Hill. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University College for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Contractors’ notes for Boars Hill
Rainfall across the South East, Boars Hill included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Boars Hill lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Littlemore Hospital (2.8 miles east of Boars Hill), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors on a campus like University College (3 miles north-east of Boars Hill), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
