Our construction mastic service in Wokingham
Mastic tends to be one of the final packages before handover. Mastic Doctor takes on mastic packages for main contractors and developers. We work on window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and brick and block movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work.
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- Snags are cleared and the package signed off with our 12-month guarantee.

Construction mastic across Wokingham: the area picture
In places such as Woodley, Earley and Crowthorne, and across Wokingham, refurbishment leaves plenty of facade joints to seal alongside new build. Each junction between new and existing materials needs the right sealant, primer and backing.
The South East has large numbers of business parks and industrial estates, especially around the motorway corridors, and Wokingham is part of the area we cover.
Wokingham: Hotels like Cantley House Hotel, 0.8 miles to the north-east of Wokingham, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. School extensions, at buildings such as Walter Infant School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it rarely lasts. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead, and the defect comes back after handover. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- The named product and why it was chosen
Different surfaces, different methods
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Working within restricted access windows
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Owners, agents and contractors
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
