Need mastic sealing in Church End?

Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Leave it or put it right?

Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

Why us?

  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
  • Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
  • Public liability insurance in place

How we handle mastic sealing in Church End

In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames and worn sealant at communal door frames, across balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Church End from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. Work is planned with the agent so residents get notice and access is arranged in advance.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

What we’re called out for in Church End

UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:

  • Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
  • Draughts at frames across a block
  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
  • Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors

Property owners at sites such as Finchley Industrial Centre, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Church End, can have mastic renewed between lettings.

What your quote should include

  • What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
  • Their approach to joint depth and backing
  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

Doing it in-house

Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Church End

Blocks in London are normally run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. We plan around the notices and access you arrange. The 2 miles around Church End include seven care or nursing homes. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.

Trustees of buildings like St Margaret's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Buildings close to stations like New Southgate station, 2.3 miles to the east of Church End, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Cost factors for mastic joints

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • Which sealant the job calls for
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Access and working height

A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

Sending details for a quote

There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:

  • When you need the work done
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • What the building is and how it’s used
  • Any specification or named product

Every quote starts with the facts: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Your questions answered

Will you take on work at estates like Finchley Industrial Centre, close to Church End?

Yes. We cover Church End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Finchley Industrial Centre. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near New Southgate station?

Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.

Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.

Do you cover Church End?

Yes. Church End falls within our area, and you can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over to get started.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

From enquiry to sign-off

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
  2. You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
  3. The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
  4. Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
  5. Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
  6. Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

What we need from you

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
  • Point out any areas we must not close
