Commercial mastic work in Underhill
Pricing a commercial reseal is a short process. Send photographs, drawings or a schedule of the joints through our quote form and you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to talk it through. Where the photos don’t tell the full story, we arrange a site visit. Most enquiries involve gaps behind commercial kitchen worktops and sinks and earlier reseals applied straight onto the failed bead, across washrooms and tea points, external facade joints and movement joints in walls and floors. Most enquiries from Underhill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Occupied buildings in Underhill need the work phased: washrooms in turn, floors in sections and entrances kept open.
Much of the planning for a London commercial job is about getting in and out: booked loading, goods-lift times, the permit system and a place to stage materials. With access agreed, we work through the sealant joints a section at a time, keeping disruption to tenants low.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will come back to it.

FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

Commercial premises in Underhill
At least three named trading, business or retail sites lie within about 3 miles of Underhill. Units on sites like these change tenants and get refitted, and each refit leaves joints to seal. Underhill has seven care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care settings have kitchens, lounges and corridors where joints need to be neat and easy to clean.
Premises within reach of New Barnet station, 1 mile to the east of Underhill, often have busy frontages where joints are seen by everyone passing. A hotel such as The Barrington Hotel (less than half a mile east of Underhill) shows how much sealant a hospitality building has on show, from bathroom joints to the bar.

How the job changes by surface
Facade and cladding joints
Panel joints on cladding and rendered facades open and close with the temperature. The product has to suit the movement, and the depth has to be controlled with backing. We confirm the access in place before we quote.
Movement joints in walls and floors
Floor joints that take trolleys or forklifts need a tougher filler or sealant. The choice comes down to how much the joint moves and what runs over it.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Faulty windows rather than failed perimeter sealant
- A dripping trap, valve or pipe behind a fitting
- Structural cracks or movement the joints weren’t designed for
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Floor and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters
- External facade joints
- Washrooms and tea points
- Kitchen worktops and splashbacks
- Movement joints in walls and floors

Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before anyone disturbs old sealant in an older building
- Ask fit-out and M&E contractors to report any sealant they disturb
- Check sealant as part of routine building inspections
- Make sure ventilation in wet areas is switched on and working
In washrooms and kitchens, extraction makes a real difference to sealant life. Fans that are broken or switched off leave joints damp for longer, which is how mould gets back in. Your maintenance team can look at extract fans at the same time.
Sealant rarely fails all at once across a building. The first failures are often a warning about the rest. We will tell you which sealant joints need doing first and which can wait.
What we’re called out for in Underhill
Plenty of failed joints were never sealed with the right product. Decorators’ caulk on a joint that moves, acetoxy silicone on stone or metal, or a stiff sealant on a facade will all fail early. BS 6213 gives guidance on choosing construction sealants.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches where an external joint has failed
- A top-up bead over failed sealant, now lifting
- Frame sealant that has cracked, shrunk or pulled away
- Wall and floor joints that have lost their seal
For a shop at a centre such as Spires Shopping Centre, 0.7 miles to the north-west of Underhill, tidy joints at counters and displays matter as much as the fixtures.

Underhill: questions and answers
Can you work at a site such as Hadley Manor Trading Estate, by Underhill?
Yes, sites like Hadley Manor Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Underhill. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on jobs in Underhill where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How is commercial sealant work priced?
Send what you have, even a few photos and rough lengths. We follow up with questions or a visit where needed.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Could the old sealant in an older building contain asbestos?
It can, on some older buildings. So we check the register first and stop work on anything suspect until it’s tested.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
