How we handle facade sealing in Blendon
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. The enquiries we see most involve perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and staining on stone next to old sealant, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. For commercial sealant work in Blendon, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Blendon, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Building and refurbishing in Blendon
A 2-mile radius around Blendon takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Blendon included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
On a healthcare site such as Queen Mary's Hospital, 2.1 miles to the south of Blendon, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. On a campus such as University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, which lies west of Blendon, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Blendon is about 1 mile south-east of Welling, in Greater London. Blendon sits inside our coverage and the rest of Greater London, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, Blendon among them. London is covered too, some 10 miles away.
We cover the DA5, DA15 and DA6 postcode districts for facade joints. If your site is on Penn Lane, Hurst Road and Brook Lane or close by, we can quote for facade joints. You’ll find Blendon on or near the A221, so getting applicators and materials to site is simple. Close to Blendon, our area also takes in Bexley (1 mile south-east), Crook Log (1 mile north), Welling (1 mile north-west), Upton (1 mile north-east) and Bexleyheath (1 mile north-east).

Landmarks near Blendon
We work on buildings around Danson Park, The Royal Oak Public House and Hurst Primary School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Albany Park station, about 0.8 miles south of the centre. A little further out are Metropolitan Police Museum (1.3 miles south-west) and Bexley Hospital (0.8 miles north-east). The countryside around Blendon includes Wansunt Pit and Summer Hill.
Doing it in-house
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.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
FAQs: Blendon
Does your area include sites such as Old Bexley Business Park, near Blendon?
Yes. We cover Blendon and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Old Bexley Business Park. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Queen Mary's Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.

What we are called out for in Blendon
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
For contractors at a college like Rose Bruford College, which lies south-west of Blendon, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Blendon can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
