For owners and agents in Easton
Easton 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 south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Easton is about 56 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you are responsible for a building such as Church of St Gregory, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. For agents with blocks near Kintbury station, 3.5 miles to the south-west of Easton, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Easton is about 5 miles north-west of Newbury, in West Berkshire. We cover commercial sites throughout Easton, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. Our West Berkshire coverage takes in 140 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Reading is covered too, around 18 miles from Easton.

How we handle mastic sealing in Easton
Across Easton and the rest of West Berkshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. If you have draught complaints from residents or tenants and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help, whatever the surface. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Easton? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around smaller places like Easton, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Questions about Easton
Is Easton off your patch?
Not at all. Easton is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
We manage a building near Kintbury station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Easton
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Complaints coming in block by block
With historic buildings such as Benham Park, 3.1 miles to the south-east of Easton, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Easton should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- How they’ll work around occupants
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The size and state of each joint
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The site’s rules and procedures
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The product your specification calls for
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
