Commercial sealant contractors in OX17: how it works
If you look after more than one building, a single sealant contractor saves a lot of chasing. We take on one-off reseals, runs of jobs across a portfolio and planned maintenance programmes, run the same way on every site: details in, a fixed quote back, the sealing done, then our 12-month guarantee. To get a programme moving in OX17, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the site addresses. We work on movement joints in walls and floors, external facade joints and floor and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hardened, chalky sealant on south-facing or exposed elevations and layers of sealant, all of them failing.
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us.
- Send details through our quote form, or ask for a site visit.
- The cause is diagnosed and the scope priced as a fixed quote.
- Where parts of the building must stay open, the work is phased.
- Every failed bead is removed rather than covered.
- Each joint gets a suitable sealant, laid to depth and tooled.
- We check the work with you, and the 12-month guarantee starts.
What affects the price in OX17
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why choose Mastic Doctor
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Clear, fixed quotes

Shops, offices and hotels in OX17
Across OX17, from Banbury, Grimsbury and Drayton to the smaller places between, commercial buildings run from high-street shops and offices to hotels, schools and business parks. Because we cover all of it, multi-site occupiers can bring every building under one quote, with colours matched site to site where the brand needs it.
We work across Greater London and the South East counties, and every job in OX17 starts with access, parking and site rules.
Banbury: Premises within reach of Banbury station, 0.8 miles east of Banbury, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. In hotels such as Cromwell Lodge Hotel, which lies east of Banbury, refurbishments normally mean bathroom, bar and reception joints where a matched sealant colour has to sit with the finishes.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Brief cleaning contractors to avoid scourers and blades on sealant
- Have extract fans checked so wet areas dry out
- Keep a record of which joints were resealed and when
Give fresh sealant time to cure before it’s cleaned, wetted or walked past. Cure time varies with the product, conditions and depth of the joint, and we confirm it when each area is handed back. Keeping signs or barriers up until then protects the finish.
Tenants and staff spot black or split sealant quickly. Replacing it on a planned cycle keeps complaints down.
What affects the price in OX17
To price the job, we consider:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The product your specification calls for
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- What the building is and how it’s used
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- A failed roof covering or waterproofing membrane
- Misted, cracked or failed glazing units (a glazier’s job)
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Internally, window boards and frame edges often have decorators’ caulk or silicone that has cracked. We use a paintable product where decorating follows and a silicone where it doesn’t.
Commercial kitchens and tea points
A smooth, continuous joint is easier to keep clean, which matters when environmental health officers look at a kitchen. We seal to a neat, cleanable finish and work around service times you agree with us.
Building owners, agents and FMs in OX17
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. OX17 can form part of a wider programme.
FAQs: OX17
What do you need from us to quote?
Price depends on joint lengths and widths, how much removal is involved, the product, access and phasing. To get a fixed price, send details through our quote form, or phone or email us.
Which site documents can you send us?
We confirm documents at quote stage: RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details are the usual requests. Every applicator holds a CSCS card.
Is failed sealant stripped out, or sealed over?
Every failed bead is cut out completely. Laying new silicone on old gives it nothing to grip; the faces are then cleaned and prepared.
Do you work in OX17?
Yes. OX17 is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
