Blocks and managed buildings in Burghclere Common
Rainfall across the South East, Burghclere Common included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. Burghclere Common is about 54 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Landlords with units on estates such as Newbury Retail Park (to the north of Burghclere Common) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Older buildings near Burghclere Common, from historic houses such as Highclere Castle (2.7 miles south-west of Burghclere Common) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Distance, for remote addresses
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.

FAQs: Burghclere Common
Is Burghclere Common too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Newbury station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
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.
Why act early in Burghclere Common
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Converted and older buildings near places like Burghclere Common tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
