Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Leaks at window and door perimeters

For a school such as Bishop Carpenter Church of England Aided Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Mastic sealing in Broughton, done properly
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we are called in for most is mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and water getting in round frames after rain. Whoever orders the work in Broughton, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For buildings around smaller places like Broughton, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Mastic sealing around Broughton: how the place shapes the job
At about 67 miles from central London, Broughton is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. The 2 miles around Broughton include two care or nursing homes. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If you own or manage units on a site such as Vantage Business Park, which lies south-east of Broughton, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Broughton is about 2 miles south-west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Broughton can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Oxfordshire. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire. We also cover Oxford, around 21 miles from Broughton.

Questions about Broughton
Can you quote for a block close to Banbury station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Broughton off your patch?
Not at all. Broughton is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
What else we do in Broughton
Surface by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Broughton, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
