Construction mastic in Aldermaston
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. Most enquiries involve window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished, on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints. Whoever orders the work in Aldermaston, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places like Aldermaston, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Sites and facades in and around Aldermaston
Aldermaston sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Aldermaston is about 46 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
School extensions, at buildings such as Aldermaston C.E. Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. When units on a site such as Fronds Park Business Park (0.8 miles north of Aldermaston) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Keep product details for future maintenance
- Ask cleaners to use soft cloths around fresh sealant
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
Frames with gaps too wide for sealant need sorting before the mastic goes on. Sealant stretched over an oversized gap won’t last, so the installer needs to correct it first. We flag them as soon as we see them.
What the job involves on each surface
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. Fire stopping design belongs to the designer and building control and we install what’s specified.
Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Common questions from Aldermaston clients
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Aldermaston?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Aldermaston, such as Fronds Park Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Aldermaston, Fronds Park Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
The work is guaranteed for 12 months on the workmanship. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What accreditations do you hold?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. Public liability insurance is in place.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with a description of the work.
Do you use the sealant named in the specification?
The specified product is what goes in. Any suggested alternative is put to you before anything changes.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs in and around smaller places like Aldermaston are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.

Leave it or put it right?
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Aldermaston, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
