Owners, agents and contractors
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Tufnell Park. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Tufnell Park
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are damp patches beside frames and open joints in brickwork or panels. Searching for sealant specialists in Tufnell Park? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Planning mastic work on a London block means notices to residents, access to flats and agreed working areas. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Tufnell Park: questions and answers
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Will you take on work at estates like Bush Industrial Estate, close to Tufnell Park?
Yes. We cover Tufnell Park and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Bush Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Which sealant will you use?
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 Tufnell Park in your area?
Yes. Sites across Tufnell Park are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Tufnell Park can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
