Mastic sealing across Milton-under-Wychwood
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
How we handle mastic sealing in Milton-under-Wychwood
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. The enquiries we see most involve communal area joints that look neglected and failed external movement joints, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Milton-under-Wychwood from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Milton-under-Wychwood tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Milton-under-Wychwood as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Questions about Milton-under-Wychwood
Can you work at a site such as Wychwood Business Centre, by Milton-under-Wychwood?

We manage a building near Shipton station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
