About our construction mastic in Lower Earley
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Each sealant has a temperature range, and damp, frost or condensation on frames stops work. Internal areas can normally carry on while the outside waits. We work on floor and skirting junctions, brick and block movement joints and sanitary and kitchen joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished. Whoever orders the work in Lower Earley, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For a contractor on a smaller site near Lower Earley, one mastic visit at the right stage saves return trips. Tell us when scaffold comes down and when decoration finishes, and we’ll plan around those stages.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Before we quote, we look at:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. It helps to include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to discuss it first.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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.
FAQs: Lower Earley
Would you work within a site like Royal Berkshire Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Reading - Whiteknights Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What hours do you work?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with a description of the work.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Leave it or put it right?
Sealing over damaged or contaminated new joints might save a day. Sealant can’t grip a contaminated or existing bead. We cut out and redo the joint properly. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. Gaps outside the product’s range are raised with the site team.
External facade and movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel movement joints need a sealant with the right movement capability. Depth is controlled with backing rod so the bead bonds to two sides only.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Lower Earley need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- Drawings, the sealant specification and your programme come to us for pricing.
- We return a fixed quote that ties the mastic package to your programme.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
