External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.

Questions we’re asked in Fewcott
Is Fewcott too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on a block within reach of Bicester North 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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
What happens if it’s left?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Fewcott. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What else we do in Fewcott
For owners and agents in Fewcott
Central London is about 57 miles from Fewcott. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Rainfall across the South East, Fewcott included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Property owners at sites such as Baynards Green Trading Estate, 1.2 miles north-east of Fewcott, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Bicester North station, 4 miles south-east of Fewcott, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Commercial clients in Fewcott
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Fewcott can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
