About our mastic sealing in Ufton Green
For blocks and buildings in Ufton Green and across West Berkshire, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. If you are dealing with mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ufton Green 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 Ufton Green, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Send photographs of the frames and joints and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.

What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Ufton Green
Rainfall across the South East, Ufton Green included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. Ufton Green lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Property owners at sites such as Theale Lakes Business Park, 1.6 miles north-east of Ufton Green, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Aldermaston station (to the west of Ufton Green) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Peter are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Your questions answered
Is Ufton Green too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work at a site such as Theale Lakes Business Park, by Ufton Green?
Yes. We cover Ufton Green and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Theale Lakes Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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 will confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
