About our construction mastic in College Town
The specification and the programme set the job rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in, and if an alternative is proposed, it goes to you for acceptance first. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. We work on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in College Town tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around places like College Town, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently, in a colour the planners or architect are happy with.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in College Town can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Bracknell Forest.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Early resealing avoids the damage that follows a leak.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour options checked against the specified product
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

Questions we’re asked in College Town
Can work at a site such as The Sixth Form College Farnborough fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as The Meadows Business Park, near College Town?
Yes, sites like The Meadows Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of College Town. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work plot by plot or floor by floor?
We follow the trades through the building. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready and we tell you if something stops an area being sealed.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
Asbestos is possible in some older mastics, particularly in buildings from before 2000. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you do fire-rated sealing on new builds?
Where it’s specified, yes. If the detail calls for collars, wraps or batts instead, we’ll tell you.
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
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 the job involves on each surface
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Where the specification calls for fire-rated or intumescent sealant around service penetrations or linear gaps, we install it to the manufacturer’s tested detail. The design and sign-off of fire stopping sit with the designer, principal designer or fire engineer.
