Mastic sealing near Ashmore Green

What we are called out for in Ashmore Green
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
If you look after a block within reach of Newbury Racecourse station, which lies south-west of Ashmore Green, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

About our mastic sealing in Ashmore Green
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you’re dealing with patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ashmore Green? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places like Ashmore Green, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Ashmore Green as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

What else we do in Ashmore Green
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. If others near Ashmore Green need work, visits can be combined. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Blocks and managed buildings in Ashmore Green
Ashmore Green is about 51 miles from central London. 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. Rainfall across the South East, Ashmore Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first.
For a school such as Cold Ash St Mark's C.E. School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. Older buildings near Ashmore Green, from historic houses such as Shaw House, 2 miles to the west of Ashmore Green, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Ashmore Green is about 2 miles north-west of Thatcham, in West Berkshire. Across the RG18 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our West Berkshire coverage takes in 140 places. For work in that direction, see our Reading page (13 miles or so).

Common questions from Ashmore Green clients
Can you quote for a block close to Newbury Racecourse station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Ashmore Green 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. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Phasing around occupants
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer.
