Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Keeping the joints sound
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Facade sealing in Bopeep
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: the frame-to-structure perimeter, panel-to-panel joints and window and door surrounds. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, across coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Most enquiries from Bopeep start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Every London site, Bopeep included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Facades, frames and programmes in Bopeep
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Bopeep included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
Access in Bopeep needs thought: the ULEZ covers all of Greater London, and loading and parking are rarely simple. Hospital estates such as Chelsfield Park Hospital (to the north-west of Bopeep) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. When a school such as Chelsfield Primary School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.

How the job changes by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.

Other services in Bopeep
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Planning a London job such as one in Bopeep starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- 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.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows
Ask for a quote
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.

Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in Bopeep 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
Can you work on a hospital site such as Chelsfield Park Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
