FAQs: Hungerford
Is Hungerford too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Hungerford is within our area. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for a block close to Twyford 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 follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Mastic sealing in Hungerford, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Hungerford and across Windsor and Maidenhead, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Most enquiries from Hungerford start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In and around smaller places like Hungerford, landlords and agents often look after small groups of housing association properties, converted farm buildings and community buildings. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Around Hungerford, it’s better to renew all the failing joints at once, rather than one at a time. Photos of every joint help us quote for the whole job.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Mastic sealing in Hungerford: the local picture
Hungerford sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are typically where frame mastic ages first. At about 31 miles from central London, Hungerford is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.
Student blocks close to universities like University of Reading (to the west of Hungerford) are easiest to work on between tenancies. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Twyford station, 2.1 miles west of Hungerford, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

What else we do in Hungerford
Common problems we fix in Hungerford
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Site managers at schools like Waltham St Lawrence Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
What your quote should include
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their public liability cover
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. If others near Hungerford need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Advice
How the quote is worked out
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- When you need the work done
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Access details, including height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Joint size and product are matched to the expected movement, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
