General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
How we handle facade sealing in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are patch repairs that keep failing and discoloured or dirty facade joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Hampstead Garden Suburb, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

What else we do in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Questions we’re asked in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Could you schedule work at a campus like Middlesex 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.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Nuffield Health Highgate Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
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.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Facades, frames and programmes in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Hampstead Garden Suburb. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Hampstead Garden Suburb. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hospital estates such as Nuffield Health Highgate Hospital, 1.3 miles to the east of Hampstead Garden Suburb, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a college such as St. Giles College (2 miles east of Hampstead Garden Suburb) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff.

Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Distance, for remote addresses
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Common problems we fix in Hampstead Garden Suburb
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as Central Hotel, 0.7 miles to the south-west of Hampstead Garden Suburb, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Hampstead Garden Suburb can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Hampstead Garden Suburb can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. We cut them out, prepare both faces and reseal to the specification.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
