How we handle facade sealing in Steventon
Managing agents and owners in Steventon ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters, and the failures we are asked to look at most are draughts around frames and panels and failed sealant on precast panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Steventon tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Steventon, building work normally means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Building and refurbishing in Steventon
Steventon has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Steventon is about 54 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, which keeps mastic packages in demand.
When a school such as St Michael's Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. On a healthcare site such as Abingdon Community Hospital (3.2 miles north of Steventon), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Steventon House Hotel, 0.9 miles south-east of Steventon, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Steventon is about 3 miles west of Didcot, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX13 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Steventon is one of 423 places in Oxfordshire on our list. Oxford is covered too, some 10 miles away.

Surface by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
Common questions from Steventon clients
Is Steventon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as The Core Business Centre, near Steventon?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Steventon, The Core Business Centre among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact.
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Converted and older buildings near places like Steventon tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. If others near Steventon need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Getting a fixed quote

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
