Questions we’re asked in Aldermaston Soke
Does your area include sites such as Stacey Industrial Park, near Aldermaston Soke?
Yes. Our area takes in Aldermaston Soke and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Stacey Industrial Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Aldermaston station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Aldermaston Soke
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, across shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Aldermaston Soke from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Aldermaston Soke tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Work we carry out in Hampshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. For work around Aldermaston Soke, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
Common problems we fix in Aldermaston Soke
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Damp patches beside frames
Buildings close to stations like Aldermaston station, 2.4 miles to the north of Aldermaston Soke, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their public liability cover
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
What affects the price in Aldermaston Soke
What shapes the price:
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Any specification or named product
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Blocks and managed buildings in Aldermaston Soke
Rainfall across the South East, Aldermaston Soke included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. At about 45 miles from central London, Aldermaston Soke is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Property owners at sites such as Stacey Industrial Park (0.9 miles south-west of Aldermaston Soke) can have mastic renewed between lettings. Schools and community buildings such as Silchester Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
