Building and refurbishing in Aldermaston Wharf
A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Aldermaston Wharf. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Rainfall across the South East, Aldermaston Wharf included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. That doesn’t stop wet spells, or frosty starts that leave panels too damp to seal, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Fronds Park Business Park, 0.8 miles south-west of Aldermaston Wharf, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Hotels like Comfort Hotel (0.7 miles north-east of Aldermaston Wharf) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Facade sealing in Aldermaston Wharf
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are discoloured or dirty facade joints and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Aldermaston Wharf from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Aldermaston Wharf is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than 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.

Our process
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. If others near Aldermaston Wharf need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Before we start on site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Point out any areas we must not close
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Common questions from Aldermaston Wharf clients
Is Aldermaston Wharf off your patch?
No. Places such as Aldermaston Wharf are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Aldermaston Wharf?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Aldermaston Wharf, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we will quote for the lot.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why us?
- CHAS accredited
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- CSCS-carded applicators

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and if it’s suspected, we stop until it has been tested.
