About our mastic sealing in Hethe
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Hethe carry our 12-month guarantee. Site teams most often ask us about patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Hethe tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions near places like Hethe often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Hethe. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. If others near Hethe need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. You will have a fixed quote before work starts.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.

Related advice
Maintenance after handover
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
FAQs: Hethe
Is a smaller place like Hethe outside your area?
Not at all. Hethe is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bicester North station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
For owners and agents in Hethe
At about 55 miles from central London, Hethe is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint 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 (to the west of Hethe) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Bicester North station, 4 miles to the south of Hethe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. For a school such as Fringford Church of England Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Hethe is about 4 miles north of Bicester, in Oxfordshire. Commercial clients in Hethe use us for work on mastic joints. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Oxford page, about 15 miles away.
