Questions we are asked in Kings Cross
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St. Pancras Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Does your area include sites such as Roman Way Industrial Estate, near Kings Cross?
Yes. Our area takes in Kings Cross and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Roman Way Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Kings Cross in your area?
Yes. We cover Kings Cross. For a quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
About our facade sealing in Kings Cross
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. The enquiries we see most involve weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and stone and brick facade joints. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Kings Cross? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction in a London area such as Kings Cross means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Working within restricted access windows
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used

After the work
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Building owners, agents and FMs in Kings Cross
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Kings Cross can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Surface by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Facade sealing around Kings Cross: points for this area
Kings Cross has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. As part of Greater London, Kings Cross 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.
Units on estates such as Roman Way Industrial Estate (1 mile north-east of Kings Cross) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. University estates such as University College London (to the south-west of Kings Cross) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Work at a hotel such as Kings Cross Inn Hotel, under half a mile east of Kings Cross, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
