About our construction mastic in Stockcross
On refurbishments, the mastic package typically includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old, and on older buildings we ask for the asbestos survey before disturbing anything. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you have caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and external joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing, we can put it right. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Stockcross, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In the countryside around places like Stockcross, conversion schemes put new frames into old stone, flint, brick or timber. Those joints need a sealant that suits an uneven, sometimes porous surface, and often a colour chosen for the building.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:

Stockcross: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Parkway Shopping Centre, close to Stockcross?
Yes. We cover Stockcross and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Parkway Shopping Centre. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a hospital such as West Berkshire Community Hospital somewhere you can work?
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.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
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 work stops until any suspect material has been tested. Removing asbestos is a job for asbestos specialists, not us.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specification decides the product. Specifications often reference BS EN 15651 or BS 6213.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Stockcross may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- First we take quantities off the drawings and read through the specification.
- A fixed quote sets out the scope, the products and the sequence.
- Any site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) is confirmed with the quote.
- We seal each plot or floor as it’s released to us.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Stockcross can form part of a wider programme.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.

When to call us in Stockcross
Swapping the specified sealant for a cheaper general-purpose product is a common cause of failure. A sealant that isn’t right for the substrate or the movement will fail ahead of time. We use what’s specified, and any substitute goes to you for acceptance.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
New wings at hospitals like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 3.7 miles to the east of Stockcross, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
