- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Construction mastic in Burghfield Common
We work to the specification and the programme. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out, so the joints perform as the designer intended. The enquiries we see most involve sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing, on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Burghfield Common is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around places like Burghfield Common, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, which leaves joints between old walls and new frames that need a sealant able to take the movement, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant forms part of some packages, installed to the product’s tested detail where it is specified. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.

Construction mastic in Burghfield Common: the local picture
Burghfield Common is about 42 miles from central London. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Burghfield Common sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
Units on estates such as Theale Lakes Business Park (to the north of Burghfield Common) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. With historic properties like Stratfield Saye House (to the south-east of Burghfield Common) in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.

Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we have sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we’re called out for in Burghfield Common
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- New external sealant already peeling away
Hotels like Roselawn Hotel, 1 mile north-east of Burghfield Common, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
What to look for in a quote
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How joint depth will be controlled
