Why it’s worth doing now in Burghfield Hill
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Public liability insurance in place

Burghfield Hill: questions and answers
Is Burghfield Hill too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Burghfield Hill are covered as much as the big towns. We work across Greater London and the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Mortimer station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
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.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Burghfield Hill can form part of a wider programme across West Berkshire.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Burghfield Hill. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints

Block-wide mastic in Burghfield Hill
Central London is about 42 miles from Burghfield Hill. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first.
For agents with blocks near Mortimer station, which lies south of Burghfield Hill, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, Church of St Mary among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Burghfield Hill need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we will work within them.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site

- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Related advice
When to call us in Burghfield Hill
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Look out for the following:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Historic properties like Stratfield Saye House (4.3 miles south-east of Burghfield Hill) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How they’ll work around occupants
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
