How we handle construction mastic in Arborfield Garrison
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. We seal so the snag list stays short, area by area through the programme. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding and panel joints and brick and block movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is cracks opening in caulked internal joints and bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean. Most enquiries from Arborfield Garrison start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around places like Arborfield Garrison, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Rainfall across the South East, Arborfield Garrison included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, so the external programme keeps a little slack.

Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
When to call us in Arborfield Garrison
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond.
Look out for the following:
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
When a school such as Bohunt School Wokingham is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Quoting for work in Arborfield Garrison
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Questions we are asked in Arborfield Garrison
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is a smaller place like Arborfield Garrison outside your area?
Not at all. Arborfield Garrison is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is signed off with a 12-month workmanship guarantee. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealant can be included where it’s specified, installed to the product’s tested detail. The design and sign-off belong to the designer, fire engineer or building control.
What accreditations do you hold?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Gaps around frames have to be within the sealant’s range. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team before sealing starts.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
