How we handle mastic sealing in Wokefield
Across Wokefield and the rest of West Berkshire, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Wokefield tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Wokefield tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Around Wokefield, 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.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Your questions answered
Will you take on a block within reach of Mortimer station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Does your area include sites such as Heron Industrial Estate, near Wokefield?
Yes, sites like Heron Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Wokefield. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Wokefield, we aim to finish in one visit, so photos and measurements up front really help. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Related advice
When to call us in Wokefield
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Historic properties like Stratfield Saye House, 3.4 miles south of Wokefield, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
