Mastic sealing in Boars Hill, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Most enquiries involve worn sealant at communal door frames and no planned programme for sealant, across window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Boars Hill it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For owners with a single building near Boars Hill, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Work we carry out in Oxfordshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before we move to the next. Jobs in and around smaller places like Boars Hill are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

Questions about Boars Hill
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Oxford station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you work in a care home in Boars Hill without moving residents out?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Is Boars Hill in your area?
Yes. Boars Hill is in our area and the rest of Oxfordshire, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Boars Hill
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Site managers at schools like Wootton St Peter's Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What to look for in a quote
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What affects the price in Boars Hill
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- The size and state of each joint
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
- When you need the work done
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.

Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Mastic sealing in Boars Hill: the local picture
Boars Hill sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Central London is about 53 miles from Boars Hill. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
If you look after a block within reach of Oxford station (2.8 miles north of Boars Hill), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners of several units at places like Wootton Business Park (1.3 miles west of Boars Hill), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
