Mastic sealing in Thame
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with communal area joints that look neglected and failed external movement joints, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Thame, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In a town such as Thame, buildings managed by agents and landlords range from flats over shops to small blocks and offices. Window and door perimeters, external joints and communal areas all need their mastic renewed from time to time.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

For owners and agents in Thame
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Central London is about 41 miles from Thame. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
If your remit includes a building such as Barley Hill Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Property owners at sites such as Bandet Way Industrial Estate (to the south-east of Thame) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Haddenham & Thame Parkway station, 2.1 miles to the north-east of Thame, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Thame is about 8 miles south-west of Aylesbury, in Oxfordshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Thame can call on us for mastic joints. We work across 423 places in Oxfordshire, from busy centres to rural villages. Oxford is covered too, some 11 miles away.
If you need mastic sealing in OX9, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. For a building on Upper High Street, Butter Market and High Street or nearby, send details and we will quote for mastic joints. Main routes into Thame include the A329 and A418. Just outside Thame, we also work in Moreton (1 mile south-west), Towersey (1 mile east), Kingsey (2 miles east), Long Crendon (2 miles north-west) and Haddenham (3 miles north-east).

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Town-centre premises in Thame may have limited parking, so tell us what’s nearby. On estates and business parks it’s typically simpler.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Request a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Commercial clients in Thame
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
FAQs: Thame
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Thame?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Haddenham & Thame Parkway 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 will give a fixed quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Leave it or put it right?
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go and is simpler to manage and budget. In a town such as Thame, a lot of buildings are older and have been altered over time, so joints between old and new are often the first to go. Renewing them before water gets in protects the fabric.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
