How we handle mastic sealing in St Pancras
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in St Pancras carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and water getting in round frames after rain, across window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in St Pancras tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
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, which is why block-wide programmes make sense.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

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. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. In St Pancras, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Mastic sealing around St Pancras: points for this area
For a London block, the agent or landlord normally handles notices to residents and access to flats. Our programme follows the access you agree with residents.
Trustees of buildings like Lumen United Reformed Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Schools and community buildings such as St George the Martyr Church of England Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. Student blocks close to universities like University of the Arts London (under half a mile south of St Pancras) are easiest to work on between tenancies.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How accessible the joints are
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Access details, including height
- The site address and postcode
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Common questions from St Pancras clients
Can you quote for a block close to London Kings Cross station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Roman Way Industrial Estate, close to St Pancras?
Yes. We cover St Pancras and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Roman Way Industrial Estate. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
