On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Rural sites near Arborfield may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.

Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Arborfield
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up, so we plan elevations with the forecast and the programme in mind. Internal areas can usually carry on while the outside waits. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are different trades sealing to different standards and new external sealant already peeling away. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Arborfield, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Arborfield bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Facades, frames and programmes in Arborfield
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Winter mornings still bring frost and condensation on frames and panels, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. Arborfield lies roughly 36 miles out from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
Building work at universities like University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus (to the north-west of Arborfield) is often timed for the summer, mastic included. New wings at hospitals like Wokingham Hospital, 3 miles to the east of Arborfield, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as The Coombes Church of England Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Why it’s worth doing now in Arborfield
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. For buildings around smaller places like Arborfield, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Common questions from Arborfield clients
Is Arborfield off your patch?
No. Places such as Arborfield are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Wokingham Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing so we usually switch to internal work when that happens.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating, and a delay to handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
