How we handle construction mastic in Lower Assendon
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work. For commercial sealant work in Lower Assendon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Sites around smaller places like Lower Assendon can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

How the job changes by surface
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Other products are used for some services and gaps, and we will tell you if the detail calls for something else. Record requirements are agreed with the quote.
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.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. 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
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
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.
Facades, frames and programmes in Lower Assendon
At about 36 miles from central London, Lower Assendon is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of Lower Assendon. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Sydney House Hotel (1.3 miles south-east of Lower Assendon), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors on a campus like University of Reading, 4.5 miles south of Lower Assendon, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

When to call us in Lower Assendon
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
On a healthcare site such as Townlands Memorial Hospital, 1.4 miles to the south-east of Lower Assendon, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Your questions answered
Can work at a site such as University of Reading fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Townlands Memorial Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. The guarantee covers our work, not later damage by other trades.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Can fire-rated sealing at service penetrations be included?
It can be part of the package where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Do you cover Lower Assendon?
Yes. Lower Assendon falls within our area, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
