Quoting for work in Clerkenwell
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Clerkenwell
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, so the price covers the real job. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Most enquiries from Clerkenwell 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: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Clerkenwell as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

New build and refits around Clerkenwell
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Clerkenwell. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. The area within 2 miles of Clerkenwell holds a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
Extensions at sites like Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road campus) (0.6 miles east of Clerkenwell) usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors on a campus like Paris Dauphine University - London Campus (0.5 miles north-west of Clerkenwell), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Work at a hotel such as Marrable's Hotel, less than half a mile south of Clerkenwell, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.

What else we do in Clerkenwell
Common questions from Clerkenwell clients
Would you work within a site like Moorfields Eye Hospital (City Road campus)?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you take on jobs in Clerkenwell where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. 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
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damaged frames that need replacing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure

Work for main contractors and building owners

Why it’s worth doing now in Clerkenwell
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Clerkenwell takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

- CSCS-carded applicators
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces

We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
