Leave it or put it right?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Older rural buildings around North Heath move with the seasons, and rigid or tired sealant can’t keep up. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in North Heath choose us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Specification-led, product-correct work
- Commercial sealant work since 2005

How we handle construction mastic in North Heath
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. Untidy or missed joints are among the commonest snag items, and every return visit costs time. We seal so the snag list stays short. If you have existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and early adhesion failures on new external joints, we can help, on internal decorators’ caulk, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters alike. Searching for sealant specialists in North Heath? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
In the countryside around places like North Heath, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. A product that grips an irregular face, with a colour that suits the building’s character, is normally what’s needed.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Common questions from North Heath clients
Is North Heath off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate, by North Heath?
Yes, sites like Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of North Heath. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

- Brick and block movement joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
Do you need construction mastic in North Heath?
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.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Red Shute Hill Industrial Estate, 2.9 miles south-east of North Heath, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it

What else we do in North Heath
Construction mastic in North Heath: the local picture
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from North Heath. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. 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.
On a healthcare site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital (4.6 miles south-east of North Heath), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Projects at schools like Chieveley Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
North Heath is about 5 miles north of Newbury, in West Berkshire. Our applicators travel to North Heath for work on mastic packages. North Heath is one of 140 places in West Berkshire on our list for mastic packages. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 16 miles from North Heath.

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.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. North Heath can form part of a wider programme.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around North Heath. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
