Facade sealing in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and discoloured or dirty facade joints, across coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shipton-under-Wychwood 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.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Shipton-under-Wychwood bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why act early in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Halls, stores and units around places like Shipton-under-Wychwood may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Rural sites near Shipton-under-Wychwood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.

Rainfall across the South East, Shipton-under-Wychwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK.

Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Shaven Crown Hotel, less than half a mile to the south-east of Shipton-under-Wychwood, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Do you need facade sealing in Shipton-under-Wychwood?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Water coming in around window frames
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
With historic properties like Minster Lovell Hall (5 miles south-east of Shipton-under-Wychwood) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?

How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
