Your questions answered
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Middlesex University?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you work at a site such as Colindale Retail Park, by Kingsbury?
Yes, sites like Colindale Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Kingsbury. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is colour matching possible?
That depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Facade sealing in Kingsbury
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, though that isn’t the only cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Kingsbury is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The total length or number of joints
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The postcode of the building
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How a job runs
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. In Kingsbury, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

New build and refits around Kingsbury
Kingsbury 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. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Kingsbury. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
Further education sites such as London College of Management Studies, 1.7 miles to the west of Kingsbury, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. New wings at hospitals like Edgware Community Hospital, 1.7 miles to the north of Kingsbury, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Do you need facade sealing in Kingsbury?
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
University estates such as Middlesex University (to the north-east of Kingsbury) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
