What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Mastic sealing in Hinksey Hill, done properly
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Whoever orders the work in Hinksey Hill, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Hinksey Hill tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Jobs in and around smaller places like Hinksey Hill are usually planned as a single visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.

Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.

Student accommodation around universities such as University College, 2 miles north of Hinksey Hill, is usually managed block by block, which suits a planned mastic programme.

Why it’s worth doing now in Hinksey Hill
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Hinksey Hill may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
