- Joints damaged after sign-off by following trades
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)

Burghclere Common: questions and answers
Is Burghclere Common off your patch?
Not at all. Burghclere Common is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
Inside and out: frame perimeters, movement joints, caulk where called for, sanitary and kitchens.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership. Tell us what site paperwork you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Quoting for work in Burghclere Common
Before we quote, we look at:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether the work must be split into stages
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- The site address and postcode
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
- The type of building and who uses it
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Note which sealant went where at handover
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Burghclere Common
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day, but it won’t last. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to, and the defect comes back after handover. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Around Burghclere Common, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
