Facade sealing in Jericho
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. Site teams most often ask us about hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and failed sealant on precast panel joints, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Jericho? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
On a small site around Jericho, the mastic is best done in the fewest visits we can manage. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we will plan around those stages.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Quoting for work in Jericho
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Any access equipment needed
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Where the site is, with the postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. What matters most for a job in Jericho is a clear list of what needs doing. A fixed quote follows.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- 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
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open
Getting a fixed quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Facade sealing in Jericho: the local picture
Central London is about 53 miles from Jericho. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Jericho. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
On a campus such as University of Oxford, which lies south-east of Jericho, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. Further education sites such as City of Oxford College, 0.7 miles south of Jericho, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Jericho Hotel, less than half a mile to the south of Jericho, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX1 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Our Oxfordshire coverage takes in 423 places, large and small.
If you need facade sealing in OX1 and OX2, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Streets here include Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. Access to Jericho is via the A4144 among other routes, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Close to Jericho, our area also takes in Walton Manor (1 mile north), St John Street area (1 mile south-east), Park Town (1 mile north-east), Norham Manor (1 mile north-east) and Osney (1 mile south-west). Further afield, our area takes in Didcot (10 miles south), Bicester (11 miles north-east), Abingdon-on-Thames (6 miles south), Witney (10 miles west), Carterton (14 miles west) and Thame (13 miles east).
Around Jericho
We work on buildings around Oxford University Parks, The Rickety Press pub and The Eckersley School of English, among other places. Also close by are Oxford Academy (1.1 miles north) and Somerville College Library (less than half a mile east). Jericho’s nearest station is Oxford station, about 0.5 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Oxford University Press Museum (under half a mile south-east) and Clarendon Shopping Centre (0.7 miles south-east). For a walk, there’s Hook Meadow and The Trap Grounds and Harcourt Hill.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Common questions from Jericho clients
Can you work at a site such as Littlemead Business Park, by Jericho?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Jericho, Littlemead Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is Jericho too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Jericho is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
