How we handle facade sealing in Aldersbrook
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and draughts around frames and panels. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Aldersbrook, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Every London site, Aldersbrook included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness; note where they appear.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
FAQs: Aldersbrook
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of East London?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Can you quote from photographs?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Doing it in-house
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.
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.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.

Facade sealing around Aldersbrook: what changes locally
A 2-mile radius around Aldersbrook takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. As part of Greater London, Aldersbrook is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
When units on a site such as Acacia Business Centre, 1.2 miles west of Aldersbrook, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For a contractor at a hotel such as Courtney Hotel, which lies south-east of Aldersbrook, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. For contractors at a college like Mount Rose College, 1.4 miles to the east of Aldersbrook, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Aldersbrook can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
