FAQs: Bexley Riverside
Do you take on jobs in Bexley Riverside where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Would you work within a site like Erith and District Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated throughout the job.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. When you phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we’ll agree the approach together.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bexley Riverside
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about failed sealant on precast panel joints and patch repairs that keep failing, on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Bexley Riverside 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.
Construction in a London area such as Bexley Riverside means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What else we do in Bexley Riverside
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Joint width, depth and condition
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Where the site is, with the postcode
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
What we’re called out for in Bexley Riverside
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Look out for the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
Further education sites such as London South East Colleges: Bexley (0.9 miles north of Bexley Riverside) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.

For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, which lies south-west of Bexley Riverside, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
