Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Burghclere

Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with old repairs sealed over failed mastic and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Burghclere tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

For owners with a single building near Burghclere, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll come back to it.

Leave it or put it right?

Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. Around Burghclere, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Why us?

  • Fully insured
  • CSCS-carded applicators
  • Specification-led, product-correct work
  • Commercial sealant work since 2005

Your questions answered

Can you work at a site such as Newbury Retail Park, by Burghclere?

Yes, sites like Newbury Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Burghclere. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.

Is Burghclere off your patch?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

Do you work with property factors and landlords?

We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.

How long will the new sealant last?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Will residents or tenants be disturbed?

Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?

A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

When to bring in a specialist

General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Mastic sealing in Burghclere: the local picture

Burghclere 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. Burghclere sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first.

If you own or manage units on a site such as Newbury Retail Park, which lies north of Burghclere, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. If your remit includes a building such as Burghclere Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Burghclere is about 4 miles south of Newbury, in Hampshire. We send applicators to Burghclere for mastic joints. Across Hampshire, 723 places are covered, including Burghclere. Our Reading page has more on work in that area.

Owners, agents and contractors

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.

Whether you’re a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

How the quote is worked out

The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:

  • Access and working height
  • The product specified
  • Working within restricted access windows
  • The size and state of each joint

Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.

What we need to price the job

The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:

  • The site address and postcode
  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Any specification or named product

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Our process

When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For a building around Burghclere, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Send that with the details and we will confirm the plan with the quote.

  1. A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
  2. You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Ask for a quote

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Advice

What we are called out for in Burghclere

Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Cleaning products add to the wear.

Things that usually lead to an enquiry:

  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • No planned programme for sealant
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • A mix of products and colours from past repairs

If you’re responsible for a building such as Church of the Ascension, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What your quote should include

  • Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Proof of insurance
  • How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
