FAQs: East Barnet
Could you schedule work at a campus like Middlesex University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Priory Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is any job too small?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
How we handle facade sealing in East Barnet
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you are dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and patch repairs that keep failing, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in East Barnet is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in a London area such as East Barnet 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Specification clauses that apply
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
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, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Mastic packages on East Barnet sites
The area within 2 miles of East Barnet holds a number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Site traffic in East Barnet falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
New wings at hospitals like Priory Hospital (1.7 miles east of East Barnet) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Building work at universities like Middlesex University, 4.5 miles south-west of East Barnet, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Common problems we fix in East Barnet
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Water coming in around window frames
Hotels like Southgate Hotel London (to the east of East Barnet) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Our process
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What else we do in East Barnet
Why act early in East Barnet
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
