How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Milcombe may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Point out any areas we must not close

About our mastic sealing in Milcombe
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can put it right. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Milcombe? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In and around smaller places like Milcombe, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. For buildings around smaller places like Milcombe, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

What else we do in Milcombe
Common problems we fix in Milcombe
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant for example where render or brick edges crumble. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Schools and community buildings such as Bloxham Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Questions about Milcombe
Is Milcombe too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Milcombe is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Banbury station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit 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.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
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.
Mastic sealing around Milcombe: points for this area
Central London is about 66 miles from Milcombe. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate. Milcombe sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Banbury station, 4.8 miles to the north-east of Milcombe, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Lawrence, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
