Mastic sealing in Shenington
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints coming in block by block and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Shenington? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Rural conversions near places like Shenington often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Mastic sealing in Shenington: the local picture
Shenington is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
For owners of several units at places like Alkerton Oaks Business Park, 1 mile north-east of Shenington, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Site managers at schools like Shenington Church of England Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
Shenington is about 5 miles west of Banbury, in Oxfordshire. We send applicators to Shenington for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Shenington is one of 423 places we cover in Oxfordshire. There’s a separate page for Oxford, roughly 25 miles from Shenington.
Commercial sites across OX15 are covered for mastic joints. For a building on Rattlecombe Road, The Level and Mill Lane or nearby, we can quote for mastic joints.

Shenington: questions and answers
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Shenington?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Alkerton Oaks Business Park, near Shenington, within your area?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Shenington, Alkerton Oaks Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
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 we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For a building around Shenington, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

For managing agents and facilities managers
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Shenington, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

Common problems we fix in Shenington
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of Holy Trinity, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
