Facades, frames and programmes in Bickley
A 2-mile radius around Bickley takes in several hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Bickley. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Units on estates such as Chartwell Business Centre (0.5 miles west of Bickley) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. For a contractor at a hotel such as Bickley Manor Hotel and Restaurant (0.6 miles south-east of Bickley), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Bickley is about 1 mile east of Bromley, in Greater London. If you are looking for facade sealing in Bickley, we can help. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, from busy centres to rural villages. Our London page has more on work in that area.

Facade sealing in Bickley, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Most enquiries involve damp patches beside frames after rain and failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Bickley start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Bickley
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- 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.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Questions we are asked in Bickley
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich - Avery Hill?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
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.
Signs you need facade sealing in Bickley
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich - Avery Hill (3.4 miles north of Bickley), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.
What your quote should include
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Who will actually carry out the work
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. In Bickley, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
