What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Damage to finishes by other trades after we’ve sealed
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

About our construction mastic in Kensal Green
The programme rarely stands still, so the mastic package has to flex with it. The sequence is set with the site team and updated as plots or floors are handed over. Sealing too early only means coming back once others have damaged it. If you are dealing with a long mastic snag list close to completion and internal caulk splitting as the building dries out, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions alike. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Kensal Green, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Construction mastic in Kensal Green: the local picture
Site traffic in Kensal Green falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. The area within 2 miles of Kensal Green holds a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
When a college such as St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College, 0.8 miles to the south-east of Kensal Green, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. University estates such as Imperial College London, 1.1 miles to the south of Kensal Green, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Kensal Green is about 1 mile south-west of Kilburn, in Greater London. Commercial clients in Kensal Green can call on us for mastic packages, as part of our coverage of Greater London. We work across 764 places in Greater London. We also cover London, some 6 miles away.
Work on mastic packages is covered throughout NW10, W10 and NW6, for business premises of every kind. Among the streets we cover are Waldo Road, Hazel Road and Hiley Road, and sites on any of them can send details for a fixed quote. If your building is just outside Kensal Green, we cover Kensal Rise (1 mile east), College Park (1 mile west), North Kensington (1 mile south-east), Willesden Green (1 mile north) and Kensal Town (1 mile south-east). Bigger towns within reach include London (6 miles east), City of Westminster (3 miles east), Marylebone (3 miles east), St Pancras (5 miles east), Shoreditch (6 miles east) and Walthamstow (9 miles north-east).

Common questions from Kensal Green clients
Is a hospital such as St Charles' Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. 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
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Does weather matter for sealant 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. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. Snag-only work is something we take on and damaged joints are redone properly.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
Our 12-month guarantee covers the workmanship from sign-off. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades, so protecting sealed areas matters.
External joints sealed in poor weather are a common cause of early failure. Holding off until conditions suit avoids callbacks so external sequencing builds in some flexibility.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Kensal Green can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we look at the scope on site or from drawings.
- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
- Final snagging is completed and the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let building users know which areas are affected
Quotes

Advice
When to call us in Kensal Green
Most mastic snags on new buildings come from sequencing rather than product. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
On a healthcare site such as St Charles' Hospital, which lies south-east of Kensal Green, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
