How we handle facade sealing in Kidlington
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and water coming in around window frames, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kidlington first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In a smaller place such as Kidlington, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings if you’d rather talk the job through.
Why act early in Kidlington
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited contractor

See our cost guide or how we’re accredited.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.

Sites and facades in and around Kidlington
Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from Kidlington. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Kidlington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Building work at universities like University Field Station (2.9 miles south-west of Kidlington) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. New units and refits on sites such as Cherwell Business Centre, 0.8 miles north-west of Kidlington, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

FAQs: Kidlington
Will you take on work at estates like Cherwell Business Centre, close to Kidlington?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Kidlington, Cherwell Business Centre among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work at a site such as University Field Station fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Signs you need facade sealing in Kidlington
Product choice matters: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
For contractors at a school such as St Thomas More Catholic Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Kidlington can form part of a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in Kidlington, the main thing is a clear picture of the work. A fixed quote follows.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
