Mastic sealing in Stratton Audley, done properly
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Stratton Audley carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have a mix of products and colours from past repairs and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Stratton Audley it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Stratton Audley, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you are not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Do you need mastic sealing in Stratton Audley?
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you look after a block within reach of Bicester North station, 2.4 miles south-west of Stratton Audley, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

What else we do in Stratton Audley
Mastic sealing in Stratton Audley: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Two care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from Stratton Audley. Frame mastic on care buildings is best renewed elevation by elevation, with the manager deciding timings.
For owners of several units at places like Tower Hill Business Park, which lies south-east of Stratton Audley, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary and St Edburga are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Common questions from Stratton Audley clients
Will you take on a block within reach of Bicester North station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Stratton Audley too far out for you?
No. Places such as Stratton Audley are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

What happens if it’s left?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows usually get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. For buildings around smaller places like Stratton Audley, 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. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

General trades versus a specialist
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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
