Common problems we fix in Kensal Rise
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Kensal Rise station (to the north-west of Kensal Rise) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

How we handle mastic sealing in Kensal Rise
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and damp patches beside frames, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Kensal Rise first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For managing agents in Kensal Rise, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Why act early in Kensal Rise
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What you get with us
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- One number for every site we cover
- Colour agreed before work starts

Questions we’re asked in Kensal Rise
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Kensal Rise station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Mastic sealing in Kensal Rise: the local picture
Blocks in London are usually run by managing agents, landlords or housing associations, with residents to notify and access to arrange. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
Older community buildings, Church of St John the Evangelist among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. If you own or manage units on a site such as The Quadrant Business Centre, which lies north-east of Kensal Rise, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. In Kensal Rise, most buildings stay in use during the work, 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.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

Advice
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
