How we handle mastic sealing in Faringdon
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. Most enquiries involve cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Faringdon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Converted and older buildings in and around Faringdon often put modern windows into old walls. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Work we carry out in Oxfordshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Questions about Faringdon
Does your area include sites such as Faringdon Business Park, near Faringdon?
Yes. We cover Faringdon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Faringdon Business Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a smaller place like Faringdon outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too and occupiers notice. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Mastic sealing around Faringdon: what changes locally
Rainfall across the South East, Faringdon included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. At about 65 miles from central London, Faringdon is within reach of the capital. 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.
With historic buildings such as Buscot Park, 3 miles to the north-west of Faringdon, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Faringdon should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. For a school such as Faringdon Community College, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Faringdon is about 10 miles south-west of Witney, in Oxfordshire. We cover Faringdon and the rest of Oxfordshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Surface by surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
What we are called out for in Faringdon
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Failed external movement joints
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of All Saints, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
