Mapesbury: questions and answers
Do you take on jobs in Mapesbury where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Could you schedule work at a campus like Westminster University for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. 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 are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Does weather affect external mastic work?
External sealing goes ahead only with a dry joint inside the product’s temperature range. Wet or cold joints cause adhesion problems, so we wait rather than redo work.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How we handle construction mastic in Mapesbury
Since 2005 we have worked alongside main contractors, developers and fit-out firms. We price from drawings and the specification, agree the sequence with the site team and seal as areas are released. To price a package in Mapesbury, send drawings and the specification through our quote form. If you have different trades sealing to different standards and new external sealant already peeling away, we can help. Most enquiries from Mapesbury 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.
Construction in a London area such as Mapesbury means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
When to call us in Mapesbury
Dust is the enemy of adhesion on a construction site. Plaster dust, release agents, protective film residue and damp all stop sealant bonding so faces get cleaned, and primer goes on wherever the maker specifies, even on new work.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Sealant knocked or painted over by other trades
- Cracks opening in caulked internal joints
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as St George's Hotel - Wembley, under half a mile north-west of Mapesbury, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Plan external elevations with the weather in mind
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
Any damage after we’ve finished should go on the snag list straight away. Snags can be picked up in a planned close-out visit as agreed in the quote.
Leaving the mastic snag list to the end squeezes everyone. Clearing snags area by area spreads the work out, and avoids a rush.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. For a job in Mapesbury, 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 price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Work follows the programme, area by area, as rooms and elevations become ready.
- Every joint is prepared, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- We close out snagging and hand over with a 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send your site hours and access windows

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Faulty frames rather than failed sealant
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding and panel joints
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Brick and block movement joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
Leave it or put it right?
Getting the mastic contractor involved early pays off. We can check joint widths, flag frames with gaps that won’t seal and confirm products against the specification, which avoids last-minute problems. Called in at the end, the same issues surface during handover. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What you get with us
- CHAS accredited
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Contractors’ notes for Mapesbury
Site traffic in Mapesbury falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Mapesbury. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
University estates such as Westminster University (to the north-west of Mapesbury) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. When a college such as Regent College, 0.6 miles west of Mapesbury, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.
