Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Godstow
Managing agents and owners in Godstow ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we are called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Most enquiries from Godstow start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
For a site near Godstow, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Common questions from Godstow clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University Field Station?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Radcliffe Infirmary?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, 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.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints, not the framing or glazing itself.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
Leave it or put it right?
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Halls, stores and units around places like Godstow 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. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

Central London is about 55 miles from Godstow. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. The area within 2 miles of Godstow holds a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Extensions at sites like Radcliffe Infirmary, 2.1 miles to the south-east of Godstow, normally sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Hotels like Leonardo Royal Hotel Oxford (to the north-east of Godstow) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
