Facade sealing for Bexley sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bexley
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on cladding panel joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and what we are called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bexley first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Bexley must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Bexley can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies 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
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Leave it or put it right?
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, saving a second set-up. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Bexley takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

- Colour agreed before work starts
- Clear, fixed quotes

What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames

Questions we are asked in Bexley
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus?
Yes. Education sites usually 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.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Facade sealing around Bexley: how the place shapes the job
There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Bexley. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. As part of Greater London, Bexley is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
On a campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 2.5 miles west of Bexley, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year. For contractors at a college like Rose Bruford College, which lies west of Bexley, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Hotels like Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel, 1.1 miles north-east of Bexley, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos if you’d rather talk the job through.
