Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Primrose Hill

Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: 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. If you have occupiers reporting cold air round windows and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Primrose Hill it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

In a London area such as Primrose Hill, 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.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods

Commercial and mixed-use buildings

Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading so the work is phased.

Planned maintenance

Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Primrose Hill

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Primrose Hill can sit alongside others in a wider programme.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.

From enquiry to sign-off

We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Getting the site ready

  • Agree which areas must stay open
  • Arrange parking or a loading space
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Quoting for work in Primrose Hill

To price the job, we consider:

  • Whether the work must be split into stages
  • How much there is to seal
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • The product specified

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Details that help us quote

Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:

  • A wide shot and a close-up of the area
  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Where the site is, with the postcode
  • Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available

The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.

Honest limits

Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first

If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Communal entrances and stairwells

Block-wide mastic in Primrose Hill

There are two care or nursing homes within about 2 miles of Primrose Hill. For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. We fit the programme to your notice periods.

Churches, halls and community buildings such as Church of St Mary the Virgin are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. If your remit includes a building such as St Paul's Church of England Primary School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Student blocks close to universities like Regent's University London, 1 mile south of Primrose Hill, are easiest to work on between tenancies.

Questions we’re asked in Primrose Hill

Will you take on a block within reach of Kentish Town West station?

Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. We work to your notice and access arrangements.

Will you work in a care home in Primrose Hill without moving residents out?

Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. We follow the home’s own procedures throughout.

Who decides which product is used?

Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.

How long before the joints can be used?

We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.

What paperwork can you provide?

Let us know your requirements: 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.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

Keeping the joints sound

Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:

  • Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
  • Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
  • Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
  • Include mastic in your cyclical inspections

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.

Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
