Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
Facade sealing in Barkingside, done properly
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you have damp patches beside frames after rain and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Barkingside is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Failed sealant in a building in Barkingside can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

How the job changes by surface
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.

How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. In Barkingside, 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.
- First we review photos, 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.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Confirm the product named in the specification
