About our mastic sealing in Enstone
We diagnose before we prescribe: 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, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. For commercial sealant work in Enstone, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Enstone tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs in and around smaller places like Enstone are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Enstone
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Halls, stores and units around places like Enstone may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

FAQs: Enstone
Do you cover business parks and estates near Enstone, such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Enstone, Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Enstone outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. 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. Internal work is far less affected.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
After the work
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Mastic sealing around Enstone: what changes locally
At about 65 miles from central London, Enstone is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Enstone sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Enstone Airfield Industrial Estate, 1.5 miles to the north-east of Enstone, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older community buildings, Church of St Kenelm among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Schools and community buildings such as Enstone Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Enstone is about 9 miles north of Witney, in Oxfordshire. Across the OX7 postcode area, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
