Mastic sealing in Burghfield Common, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Burghfield Common and across West Berkshire, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you’re dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and failed external movement joints, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Burghfield Common, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Burghfield Common mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Common questions from Burghfield Common clients
Is Burghfield Common too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for a block close to Mortimer station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
We can. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Planned mastic for Burghfield Common portfolios
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. At about 42 miles from central London, Burghfield Common is within reach of the capital. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres.
If your remit includes a building such as Garland Junior School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Landlords with units on estates such as Theale Lakes Business Park, 1.8 miles to the north of Burghfield Common, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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.
