General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Facade sealing in Shipton-on-Cherwell, done properly
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is draughts around frames and panels and water coming in around window frames. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shipton-on-Cherwell? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places like Shipton-on-Cherwell, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

New build and refits around Shipton-on-Cherwell
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Shipton-on-Cherwell. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
New units and refits on sites such as Oxford Spires Business Park, 1.1 miles to the south of Shipton-on-Cherwell, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Older buildings in the area around Shipton-on-Cherwell, such as Blenheim Palace, 2.5 miles to the west of Shipton-on-Cherwell, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors at a school such as The Marlborough Church of England School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish.
Render and coated surfaces
Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

Advice
Questions about Shipton-on-Cherwell
Is a smaller place like Shipton-on-Cherwell outside your area?
No. Places such as Shipton-on-Cherwell are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you take on work at estates like Oxford Spires Business Park, close to Shipton-on-Cherwell?
Yes. Our area takes in Shipton-on-Cherwell and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Oxford Spires Business Park included. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email, describe the access, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Converted and older buildings near places like Shipton-on-Cherwell tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
