About construction mastic in Bracknell Forest
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. Most enquiries involve missed perimeter joints on a new elevation and new external sealant already peeling away, on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and internal decorators’ caulk.
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.

New build and refurbishment in Bracknell Forest
In places such as Bracknell, Sandhurst and Wick Hill, and across Bracknell Forest, refurbishment leaves plenty of facade joints to seal alongside new build. New frames against old masonry need a product, primer and joint design to suit both.
London and the South East are among the drier parts of the UK, though outside work in Bracknell Forest still waits for dry faces, and cold mornings bring frost and condensation on steel and glass.
Bracknell: On a campus such as Imperial College Silwood Park Campus, 4.6 miles to the east of Bracknell, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Bracknell Enterprise Centre, 0.5 miles to the north-west of Bracknell, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Common problems we fix in Bracknell Forest
Three-sided adhesion is a frequent fault on new work. Fixed to three faces, the sealant rips the first time the joint opens so we set the depth properly before sealing.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Internal decorators’ caulk
Where the specification calls for it, acrylic decorators’ caulk goes on non-moving internal gaps before painting. It’s paintable and suits gaps that don’t move, and we use a flexible sealant where there’s movement.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
On multi-unit schemes, consistency matters across hundreds of bathrooms. One applicator team gives the same finish everywhere following the programme.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
Cost factors for mastic packages
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to discuss it first.
Common questions from Bracknell Forest clients
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Is Bracknell Forest in your area?
Yes. Sites across Bracknell Forest are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product, and we will raise it if something in it doesn’t suit the joint. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you work with the site programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
