When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How we handle mastic sealing in Harefield
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. Most enquiries involve mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and window mastic that has split and shrunk, across window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Harefield 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 Harefield, many buildings are blocks of flats or mixed-use buildings run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Harefield
Do you take on jobs in Harefield where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Harefield, such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Harefield and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work in Harefield?
Yes. Harefield is in our area and the rest of Greater London. To discuss a job, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Harefield
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
For a school such as Harefield Infant School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
