How we handle facade sealing in Becontree Heath
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and what we’re called in for most is gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Becontree Heath, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Becontree Heath must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
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’re upfront about that.

Mastic packages on Becontree Heath sites
Site traffic in Becontree Heath falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Becontree Heath. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
New wings at hospitals like Queens Hospital, 1.3 miles to the east of Becontree Heath, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. For contractors at a school such as All Saints Catholic School and Technology College, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Becontree Heath
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Becontree Heath can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For a job in Becontree Heath, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

FAQs: Becontree Heath
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.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Barking and Dagenham College for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, and we build that into the programme.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Signs you need facade sealing in Becontree Heath
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
Further education sites such as Barking and Dagenham College (to the east of Becontree Heath) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
