Construction mastic in Burghclere, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk, and the failures we are asked to look at most are bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burghclere is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In the countryside around places like Burghclere, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is usually what’s needed.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving mastic to whichever trade is fitting the element can look cheaper on paper. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Burghclere, rather than one at a time. Send photos of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

FAQs: Burghclere
Can work at a site such as Newbury College fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is Burghclere off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We carry five million pounds of public liability insurance.
How do you work with the site programme?
We work to your programme. Tell us the sequence and we will plan applicators around it.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
Weather matters for external sealing: each sealant has a temperature range, and the joint must be dry. External work is sequenced with some flexibility.
What accreditations do you hold?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. We’re also fully insured, with five million pounds of public liability cover.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Owners, agents and contractors
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Facades, frames and programmes in Burghclere
At about 54 miles from central London, Burghclere is within reach of the capital. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. Burghclere is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital, which lies north of Burghclere, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a college like Newbury College (2.5 miles north of Burghclere), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Burghclere is about 4 miles south of Newbury, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Burghclere for mastic packages, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Our Hampshire coverage takes in 723 places. For work in that direction, see our Reading page, about 17 miles away.

Do you need construction mastic in Burghclere?
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink, which opens up internal joints, particularly where caulk has been used in a joint that moves. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Look out for the following:
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- Missed perimeter joints on a new elevation
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
When units on a site such as Newbury Retail Park, 2.8 miles to the north of Burghclere, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
