How we handle mastic sealing in Curbridge
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and failed external movement joints, across external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Curbridge first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Curbridge, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. 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 Curbridge need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You’ll have a fixed quote before work starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.

What the job involves on each 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
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Mastic sealing in Curbridge: the local picture
Curbridge lies roughly 64 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Curbridge included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Property owners at sites such as Windrush Industrial Park (to the north of Curbridge) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of St John the Baptist, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Older buildings near Curbridge, from historic houses such as Minster Lovell Hall (1.8 miles north of Curbridge) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Questions about Curbridge
Will you take on work at estates like Windrush Industrial Park, close to Curbridge?
Yes. Our area takes in Curbridge and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Windrush Industrial Park included. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Curbridge?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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.
