Construction mastic for Northwick Park sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Construction mastic in Northwick Park, done properly
Mastic is often where a new building first shows its quality to the client. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. The enquiries we see most involve frame gaps too wide for sealant alone and different trades sealing to different standards, across floor and skirting junctions, internal decorators’ caulk and window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from Northwick Park 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.
Around Northwick Park, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Construction mastic in Northwick Park: the local picture
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Northwick Park. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Northwick Park included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
For contractors on a campus like Westminster University, under half a mile to the north-east of Northwick Park, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Work at a hotel such as The Gayton Hotel, under half a mile north of Northwick Park, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Northwick Park Hospital (less than half a mile east of Northwick Park), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Use the product the specification names
- Don’t force external sealing on a damp or frosty day
- Bring the mastic contractor in after the last trades are through
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. That helps the building owner maintain the joints later. Tell us what records you need and we’ll confirm with the quote.
One unsealed frame can let water into finished internal areas. On a new building that means remedial work after decorating. A check of every frame before decorators start is worth the time.
Owners, agents and contractors
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, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
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’ll confirm with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
External facade and movement joints
External movement joints often need primer, depending on the substrate. We prime where the manufacturer specifies and work only when conditions suit.
Internal decorators’ caulk
Caulk is easy to apply badly. Done properly, it saves decorators time and gives a clean line.
When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Before we disturb old sealant in an older building, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops until any suspect material has been tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
