Common questions from Crouch End clients
Will you work in a care home in Crouch End without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Noise and disruption are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on jobs in Crouch End where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
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.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
How the quote is worked out
These are the things that shape the price:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
- Whether the work must be split into stages
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.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Block-wide mastic in Crouch End
Crouch End has five care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away.

For a London block, the agent or landlord usually handles notices to residents and access to flats. We fit the programme to your notice periods.
Older community buildings, Christ Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Property owners at sites such as Arena Shopping Park (1.2 miles east of Crouch End) can have mastic renewed between lettings. If you look after a block within reach of Crouch Hill station, 0.7 miles south-east of Crouch End, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
