Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Hungerford
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Hungerford first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Owners with buildings around smaller places like Hungerford often group mastic work so one visit covers several properties. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer.

For owners and agents in Hungerford
Hungerford is about 62 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to have plenty of managed blocks near stations and town centres. Hungerford is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first.
Schools and community buildings such as Hungerford Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Hungerford Trading Estate, which lies west of Hungerford, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

What else we do in Hungerford
Hungerford: questions and answers
Is Hungerford Trading Estate, near Hungerford, within your area?
Yes. We cover Hungerford and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Hungerford Trading Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is a smaller place like Hungerford outside your area?
Not at all. Hungerford is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Why deal with it now?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. In a smaller place such as Hungerford, getting a contractor back for a second visit takes time, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Do you need mastic sealing in Hungerford?
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed external movement joints
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damp patches beside frames
Trustees of buildings like Church of St Lawrence can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
