About our mastic sealing in Mill Hill
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are communal area joints that look neglected and open joints in brickwork or panels. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Mill Hill is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
London has a large stock of purpose-built blocks, mansion flats and converted buildings managed by agents and housing associations. Mastic around windows, doors and balconies tends to fail across a whole block at a similar time.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.

What else we do in Mill Hill
Common problems we fix in Mill Hill
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Owners of student blocks near Middlesex University, 1.7 miles south of Mill Hill, can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, the same details help:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Any specification or named product
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- 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
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

Frames, entrances and external joints in Mill Hill
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We work to your notice and access plan. There are three care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Mill Hill. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Mill Hill Broadway station, 1 mile south-west of Mill Hill, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Schools and community buildings such as St Paul's CofE Primary School NW7 need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Questions we’re asked in Mill Hill
Can you work at a site such as Mill Hill Industrial Estate, by Mill Hill?
Yes, sites like Mill Hill Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Mill Hill. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you quote for a block close to Mill Hill Broadway station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Failed sealant in a building in Mill Hill can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
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.
