Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Smaller jobs around Combe can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Facade sealing in Combe
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. If you have failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and draughts around frames and panels, we can help, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Combe? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Combe, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
Common questions from Combe clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Combe?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate, near Combe?
Yes, sites like Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Combe. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Contractors’ notes for Combe
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Central London is about 61 miles from Combe. 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.
With historic properties like Blenheim Palace (to the east of Combe) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. When a school such as Combe CofE Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Share access with other external trades
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; record the locations.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Commercial clients in Combe
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Combe can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Do you need facade sealing in Combe?
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Units on estates such as Wroslyn Road Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the south of Combe, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Comparing quotes
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Converted and older buildings near places like Combe tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
