Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
About our construction mastic in Holloway Down
Site managers want applicators who turn up with the right cards and paperwork. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance in place. RAMS, an insurance certificate and CSCS details can be confirmed with the quote if you tell us what you need. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints, and what we are called in for most is sanitary sealant damaged by following trades and a long mastic snag list close to completion. Most enquiries from Holloway Down start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. They’re sealed with a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone or another product named in the specification and set the depth with backing where needed.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Sanitary joints around baths, showers, basins and WCs need anti-mould sanitary silicone. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
Why act early in Holloway Down
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. The result tends to be uneven finishes and arguments about who should seal what. A single mastic package gives one point of responsibility and a consistent finish. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a job in Holloway Down, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- The package is closed out, snags cleared and backed by our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. A 2-mile radius around Holloway Down takes in plenty of hotels.
