Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Stratton Audley
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches beside frames after rain and air leaks through failed facade joints, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries from Stratton Audley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Stratton Audley is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Honest limits
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Common problems we fix in Stratton Audley
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Draughts around frames and panels
For contractors at a school such as Cooper School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Facades, frames and programmes in Stratton Audley
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 53 miles from Stratton Audley. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
When units on a site such as Tower Hill Business Park (1.9 miles south-east of Stratton Audley) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. On a healthcare site such as Bicester Community Hospital, which lies south-west of Stratton Audley, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Stratton Audley is about 3 miles north-east of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX27 postcode area, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs: Stratton Audley
Is Tower Hill Business Park, near Stratton Audley, within your area?
Yes, sites like Tower Hill Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Stratton Audley. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Bicester Community Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
How do we ask for 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.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
When can you be on site?
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.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Stratton Audley can form part of a wider programme.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Why act early in Stratton Audley
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. For buildings around smaller places like Stratton Audley, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- CSCS-carded applicators
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
