Common questions from Leafield clients
Does your area include sites such as Crawley Mill Industrial Estate, near Leafield?
Yes, sites like Crawley Mill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Leafield. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can the mastic package for our job in Leafield follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
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 confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Facade sealing in Leafield, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Leafield, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Sites around smaller places like Leafield can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photographs and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Facade sealing around Leafield: what changes locally
Central London is about 66 miles from Leafield. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Leafield included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Crawley Mill Industrial Estate, 2.5 miles south-east of Leafield, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Projects at schools like Leafield Church of England Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
Leafield is about 4 miles north-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Leafield use us for work on facade joints, as part of our coverage of Oxfordshire. 423 places across Oxfordshire fall within our area, including Leafield. Our Oxford page has more on work in that area.

Work for main contractors and building owners
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Leafield can form part of a wider programme across Oxfordshire.
Why it’s worth doing now in Leafield
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, saving a second set-up. Converted and older buildings near places like Leafield tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. 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. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland
- Fixed quotes based on photos, drawings or a visit
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Fully insured, including public liability cover

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Common problems we fix in Leafield
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (to the south of Leafield) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Leafield, we aim to finish in one visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it.
