About our mastic sealing in East Barnet
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out. A single leaking joint is often how a building in East Barnet first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In a London area such as East Barnet, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Window and door perimeters, balcony joints and communal areas all have mastic that ages together across a building, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What affects the price in East Barnet
Before we quote, we look at:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much there is to seal
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The postcode of the building
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Doing it in-house
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Questions we are asked in East Barnet
Do you work in occupied care homes around East Barnet?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.

How a job runs
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

Why act early in East Barnet
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Failed sealant in a building in East Barnet can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common problems we fix in East Barnet
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
If you are responsible for a building such as St Mary the Virgin, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Before you book anyone
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Their public liability cover
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
