About our mastic sealing in Easthampstead
Managing agents and housing associations typically need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is old repairs sealed over failed mastic and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Easthampstead first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Places the size of Easthampstead usually have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Bracknell Forest. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Easthampstead need work too, visits can be combined. Tell us your site hours and we will plan around them.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Planned mastic for Easthampstead portfolios
Easthampstead sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are usually where frame mastic ages first. Easthampstead is part of, or right next to, Bracknell, which was built as a planned town. Housing was built estate by estate, which suits planned, block-by-block mastic programmes.
Older community buildings, St Michael and St Mary Magdalene's Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Student blocks close to universities like Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (4.8 miles east of Easthampstead) are easiest to work on between tenancies. Buildings close to stations like Bracknell station, 0.6 miles north of Easthampstead, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Easthampstead is about 1 mile south-west of Bracknell, in Bracknell Forest. Our applicators travel to Easthampstead for work on mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Across Bracknell Forest, 48 places are covered, including Easthampstead. There’s a separate page for Reading, roughly 10 miles from Easthampstead.

Different surfaces, different methods
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.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
Common questions from Easthampstead clients
Is a smaller place like Easthampstead outside your area?
No. Places such as Easthampstead are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Bracknell 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’ll quote and plan to suit.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can weather delay the job?
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.
