About our construction mastic in Tidmarsh
Perimeter sealing outside needs a dry joint and the right temperature. Cold or damp mornings, frost and condensation on frames can all hold external sealing up. Internal sealing often fills those days. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, brick and block movement joints and window and door perimeters, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and new external sealant already peeling away. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tidmarsh first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Tidmarsh, building work typically means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
Work we carry out in West Berkshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Facades, frames and programmes in Tidmarsh
A 2-mile radius around Tidmarsh takes in a number of hotels. 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. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
Work at a hotel such as The Elephant Hotel (to the north of Tidmarsh) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Units on estates such as Turnhams Green Business Park, 2.1 miles south-east of Tidmarsh, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
Tidmarsh is about 5 miles west of Reading, in West Berkshire. Any commercial site in Tidmarsh is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our West Berkshire coverage takes in 140 places, large and small.

Why act early in Tidmarsh
A cheaper sealant can look like an easy saving on a large package. The saving is small next to the cost of callbacks and defects. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we will say so. Around Tidmarsh, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Note which sealant went where at handover
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
Record which products went where in the handover file. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Water gets behind trays, vanity tops and panels. Getting the product and preparation right first time avoids that.
Your questions answered
Is Tidmarsh too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Turnhams Green Business Park, near Tidmarsh?
Yes, sites like Turnhams Green Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Tidmarsh. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them, sealing as areas become ready.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
Managing asbestos is the dutyholder’s responsibility, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. Work pauses if suspect material is found, until it has been tested.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Diagnose, treat, sign off

When to call us in Tidmarsh
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
For contractors at a school such as Pangbourne Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What your quote should include
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How the existing material will be dealt with
