What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

About our facade sealing in Finstock
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. If you have failed sealant on precast panel joints and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Finstock, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Finstock bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Finstock as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Finstock: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Manor Barns Business Park, close to Finstock?
Yes, sites like Manor Barns Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Finstock. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Finstock?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Why it’s worth doing now in Finstock
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. 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. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Finstock. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Common problems we fix in Finstock
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Manor Barns Business Park (under half a mile north of Finstock) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. On site, the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs in and around smaller places like Finstock are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- 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.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Facade sealing in Finstock: the local picture
At about 64 miles from central London, Finstock is within reach of the capital. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Finstock 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.
Older buildings in the area around Finstock, such as Minster Lovell Hall, 3.8 miles to the south-west of Finstock, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. When a school such as Finstock Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Finstock is about 4 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX7 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Finstock is one of 423 places in Oxfordshire on our list. Our Oxford page has more on work in that area.
