Mastic sealing in Shipton-under-Wychwood, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. For commercial sealant work in Shipton-under-Wychwood, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Rural conversions near places like Shipton-under-Wychwood 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.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most, so they often need renewing sooner.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.

Why act early in Shipton-under-Wychwood
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Halls, stores and units around places like Shipton-under-Wychwood may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Questions about Shipton-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. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Shipton-under-Wychwood too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. 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 do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
