What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Fire-stopping design or sign-off (that’s for the designer, fire engineer and building control)
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints

- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Construction mastic in Burghfield, done properly
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items. We seal so the snag list stays short. We work on cladding and panel joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and cracks opening in caulked internal joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Burghfield from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Conversions of older rural buildings near smaller places such as Burghfield bring stone, flint, brick and timber up against new glazing. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common questions from Burghfield clients
Is Burghfield off your patch?
Not at all. Burghfield is within our area. Our area covers London and the South East counties. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
Conditions have to suit the product before external work starts. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems, so we wait rather than redo work.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Surface by surface
External facade and movement joints
Movement joints in the facade are sealed with a product suited to the expected movement. We set the depth with backing rod to avoid three-sided adhesion.
Snagging before handover
Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. Snagging can be included or priced separately.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Brief the sparkle clean so they don’t scrape the new joints. Blades and abrasive pads are the commonest cause of damage at the final clean, so stick to soft cloths and gentle cleaners near sealant.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Smaller jobs around Burghfield can be grouped with others nearby, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
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.
Construction mastic around Burghfield: what changes locally
Burghfield is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Burghfield. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
On a campus such as University of Reading, 4.9 miles to the north-east of Burghfield, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. Work at a hotel such as Roselawn Hotel (to the east of Burghfield) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. New wings at hospitals like Battle Hospital (to the north-east of Burghfield) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
Burghfield is about 4 miles south-west of Reading, in West Berkshire. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Burghfield can call on us for mastic packages. Across West Berkshire, 140 places are covered, Burghfield among them.

Near you in Burghfield
In Burghfield, that means premises near The Willink School, The Hatchgate pub and The Willink School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Theale station, about 1.9 miles north-west. A little further out are Thames Valley Police Museum (1.3 miles north-west) and Battle Hospital (4.2 miles north-east). The countryside around Burghfield includes Hosehill Lake and Fobney Island Wetland Reserve.
Why deal with it now?
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs and that’s a far smaller job. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Converted and older buildings near places like Burghfield tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. A sealant with the right movement capability, correctly sized, lasts far better.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
