Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- We take off quantities and return a fixed quote.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints

About our construction mastic in Harringay
A typical mastic package covers more than window perimeters: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility and gives you a consistent finish across the job. Site teams most often ask us about early adhesion failures on new external joints and mastic snags holding up handover, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and cladding and panel joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Harringay from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Construction in a London area such as Harringay means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frames fitted out of tolerance
- Approving fire stopping as compliant

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Protect sealed areas from following trades
- Keep scrapers and abrasive pads off new beads
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating and possibly a delayed handover. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Questions about Harringay
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like American University in London?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
What happens if the weather stops external sealing?
External mastic depends on conditions: the joint needs to be dry and within the product’s temperature range. We plan external elevations with that in mind.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What if there’s asbestos in the old mastic?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. We price to the specification and drawings.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards. We confirm any paperwork you need with the quote.
When to call us in Harringay
Shrinkage and settlement in the first months put new joints under strain. Plaster, screeds, timber and blockwork all shrink as they lose moisture. Choosing the right product for each joint reduces that.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Sanitary sealant damaged by following trades
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
When units on a site such as Arena Shopping Park (to the south of Harringay) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
What to look for in a quote
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
