Mastic sealing in Fair Oak
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Most enquiries involve water getting in round frames after rain and communal area joints that look neglected, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Fair Oak first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For owners with a single building near Fair Oak, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Why it’s worth doing now in Fair Oak
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Converted and older buildings near places like Fair Oak tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Fair Oak are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Mastic sealing around Fair Oak: points for this area
Central London is about 49 miles from Fair Oak. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres. Fair Oak is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
For agents with blocks near Thatcham station (3.6 miles north-west of Fair Oak), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. For a school such as Ashford Hill Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Fair Oak is about 3 miles west of Tadley, in Hampshire. Across the RG19 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee.

Your questions answered
We manage a building near Thatcham station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Scion Business Park, close to Fair Oak?
Yes, sites like Scion Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Fair Oak. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
What paperwork can you provide?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
Do you need mastic sealing in Fair Oak?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Failed external movement joints
- Complaints coming in block by block
Landlords with units on estates such as Scion Business Park, 1.5 miles to the north-east of Fair Oak, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
Before you book anyone
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How they handle RAMS and site documents

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
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.
