About our facade sealing in Upper Arncott
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and staining on stone next to old sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Upper Arncott? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Around smaller places like Upper Arncott, 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What else we do in Upper Arncott
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Building and refurbishing in Upper Arncott
Central London is about 50 miles from Upper Arncott. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Rainfall across the South East, Upper Arncott included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Bicester Community Hospital, 3.7 miles to the north-west of Upper Arncott, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Historic houses such as Boarstall Tower (to the south-east of Upper Arncott) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If others near Upper Arncott need work, visits can be combined. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Upper Arncott: questions and answers
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Upper Arncott?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a hospital such as Bicester Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal facades in winter?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, and we build that into the programme.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing.
