Facade sealing in Fencott, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear, often at around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises. If you are dealing with new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, whatever the surface. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Fencott, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Fencott is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. If others near Fencott need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Questions about Fencott
Is a smaller place like Fencott outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Fencott?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Mastic packages on Fencott sites
Rainfall across the South East, Fencott 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 the external programme keeps a little slack. At about 52 miles from central London, Fencott is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (to the south-east of Fencott) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products. On a healthcare site such as Bicester Community Hospital, 3.8 miles to the north of Fencott, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. When a school such as Charlton-on-Otmoor Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.

Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.
Why act early in Fencott
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Older rural buildings around Fencott move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
