About our mastic sealing in Enfield Highway
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and complaints coming in block by block, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Enfield Highway, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Do you need mastic sealing in Enfield Highway?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Look out for the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
If your remit includes a building such as Enfield Heights Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Enfield Highway can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- 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.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Quoting for work in Enfield Highway
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Phasing around occupants
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- When you need the work done
To get a fixed quote, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
For owners and agents in Enfield Highway
Enfield Highway has six care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. 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.
Landlords with units on estates such as Enfield Highway Shopping Centre (under half a mile south-west of Enfield Highway) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. With historic buildings such as Forty Hall (to the north-west of Enfield Highway) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Enfield Highway should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.
Enfield Highway is about 2 miles east of Enfield, in Greater London. We send applicators to Enfield Highway for mastic joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Enfield Highway is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London. There’s a separate page for London, about 11 miles away.

Around Enfield Highway
Around Enfield Highway, our work takes us to commercial buildings near Russet House School, Gunpowder Park and Aylward Academy and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is Brimsdown station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. A little further out are St Michaels Hospital (1.9 miles west) and Museum of Enfield (1.9 miles south-west). Open spaces near Enfield Highway include Ainslie Wood and Pole Hill.
Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
