Mastic sealing in Jericho, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. The enquiries we see most involve repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Jericho it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Places the size of Jericho usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Oxfordshire. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Questions we’re asked in Jericho
Is a smaller place like Jericho outside your area?
Not at all. Jericho is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Jericho, such as Littlemead Business Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Jericho and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Littlemead Business Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. Work is planned in sections.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Mastic sealing around Jericho: what changes locally
Jericho lies roughly 53 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Jericho 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.
Site managers at schools like St Barnabas' Church of England Aided Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Oxford (0.7 miles south-east of Jericho), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. If you own or manage units on a site such as Littlemead Business Park, which lies south-west of Jericho, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Jericho is about 2 miles west of Oxford, in Oxfordshire. Any commercial site in Jericho is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Jericho is one of 423 places we cover in Oxfordshire for mastic joints.
We cover the OX1 and OX2 postcode districts for mastic joints. Among the streets we cover are Abbey Road, Combe Road and Pusey Lane, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. Several jobs near Jericho can be grouped on one trip. Tell us your site hours and we’ll plan around them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
