How we handle mastic sealing in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve draughts at frames across a block and failed external movement joints, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Shipton-on-Cherwell first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Rural conversions near places like Shipton-on-Cherwell often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
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.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
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.
What else we do in Shipton-on-Cherwell
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Our process
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Shipton-on-Cherwell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Why act early in Shipton-on-Cherwell
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Halls, stores and units around places like Shipton-on-Cherwell may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Fully insured
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
