What we need to price the job

Mastic sealing in Whitegrove, done properly
Across Whitegrove and the rest of Bracknell Forest, we work the same way: 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. If you have draughts at frames across a block and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Whitegrove it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Older buildings and conversions around places like Whitegrove mix old masonry with newer frames. Perimeter joints need a sealant that suits both frame and masonry.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
Why act early in Whitegrove
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Renewing it in good time keeps the building weathertight.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common questions from Whitegrove clients
Is Whitegrove too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work at a site such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre, by Whitegrove?
Yes, sites like Bracknell Enterprise Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Whitegrove. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.

From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. What matters most for a job in Whitegrove is a clear list of what needs doing, so send photos of each area. A fixed quote follows.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Ask for a quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Planned mastic for Whitegrove portfolios
Whitegrove sits in one of the drier corners of the country, the South East. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. Whitegrove sits in or beside Bracknell, a twentieth-century planned town. Estates from the same phase usually have mastic of the same age, so owners and associations can deal with it block by block.
Landlords with units on estates such as Bracknell Enterprise Centre (to the south-west of Whitegrove) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. If your remit includes a building such as Warfield Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Owners of student blocks near Imperial College Silwood Park Campus (3.8 miles east of Whitegrove) can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.
