How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Facade sealing in Harrow on the Hill, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and failed sealant on precast panel joints, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Harrow on the Hill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Harrow on the Hill must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

How a job runs
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts. In Harrow on the Hill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Building and refurbishing in Harrow on the Hill
Harrow on the Hill has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. As part of Greater London, Harrow on the Hill is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
On a healthcare site such as The Clementine Churchill Hospital, under half a mile to the south-east of Harrow on the Hill, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Hotels like The King's Head Hotel (to the north-west of Harrow on the Hill) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Further education sites such as St Dominic's Sixth Form College, less than half a mile west of Harrow on the Hill, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions we’re asked in Harrow on the Hill
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?

How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photos, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
