About our facade sealing in North Kensington
Managing agents and owners in North Kensington ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. The approach doesn’t change with the size: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Most enquiries involve perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in North Kensington is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in a London area such as North Kensington means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is usually one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What affects the price in North Kensington
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The product specified
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Facades, frames and programmes in North Kensington
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of North Kensington. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, North Kensington included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Work at a hotel such as Samarkand Hotel (to the south-east of North Kensington) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. On a campus such as Imperial College London, 0.6 miles to the south of North Kensington, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

Common questions from North Kensington clients
Could you schedule work at a campus like Imperial College London for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Latimer Industrial Estate, near North Kensington?
Yes, sites like Latimer Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of North Kensington. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
What we’re called out for in North Kensington
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
Further education sites such as St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College, less than half a mile to the south-east of North Kensington, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
What to look for in a quote
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their public liability cover
When it isn’t the sealant
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters

From enquiry to sign-off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Ask for a quote
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
