Mastic sealing in Holloway Down
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. 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. The enquiries we see most involve water getting in round frames after rain and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Holloway Down? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
For managing agents in Holloway Down, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Common problems we fix in Holloway Down
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We will tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed external movement joints
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
For a school such as The Jenny Hammond Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
How a job runs
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Holloway Down can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Acacia Business Centre, near Holloway Down?
Yes, sites like Acacia Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Holloway Down. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work in a care home near Holloway Down with residents in?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
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. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Why act early in Holloway Down
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Holloway Down takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
