Mastic sealing in Winnersh, done properly
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we’re called in for most is patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and damp patches beside frames. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Winnersh tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Winnersh, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. Send the addresses and photographs and we will quote for all of them together.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

- Window mastic that has split and shrunk

Questions about Winnersh
Is Winnersh off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does your area include sites such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre, near Winnersh?
Yes. We cover Winnersh and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Looking after buildings in and around Winnersh
At about 34 miles from central London, Winnersh is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide. Rainfall across the South East, Winnersh included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. 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.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Mary the Virgin are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. Landlords with units on estates such as Loddon Vale Shopping Centre, 1.7 miles north of Winnersh, can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.
