Mastic packages on Kingsclere sites
Rainfall across the South East, Kingsclere included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Kingsclere has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Extensions at sites like West Berkshire Community Hospital, 6 miles to the north of Kingsclere, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. When a school such as Kingsclere Church of England Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Hotels like Swan Hotel, under half a mile to the west of Kingsclere, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

About our facade sealing in Kingsclere
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When it fails, the whole bead is cut away and the joint rebuilt. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. Whoever orders the work in Kingsclere, the brief is typically the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as Kingsclere, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Even a small site needs its perimeter and facade joints sized, backed and sealed properly.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

What else we do in Kingsclere
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Kingsclere. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

Why it’s worth doing now in Kingsclere
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Common questions from Kingsclere clients
Is Kingsclere too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work on a hospital site such as West Berkshire Community Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos help, and you can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Typically, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Kingsclere need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
