Facade sealing in Albany Park, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is failed sealant on precast panel joints and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Albany Park, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How a job runs
On arrival, 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 normally taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. In Albany Park, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open

When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
When something else is needed
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Specialist high-level access methods
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Stone and brick facade joints

FAQs: Albany Park
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Facades, frames and programmes in Albany Park
Site traffic in Albany Park falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. A number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Albany Park. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 1.7 miles north-west of Albany Park, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Extensions at sites like Queen Mary's Hospital (0.5 miles south of Albany Park) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Signs you need facade sealing in Albany Park
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, normally comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly, and movement soon pulls it away.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
School extensions, at buildings such as Birkbeck Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather and need a durable external sealant.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Quoting for work in Albany Park
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
