Work for main contractors and building owners
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Botany Bay
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, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Botany Bay, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Botany Bay must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading inside the building.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. 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 look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

New build and refits around Botany Bay
Site traffic in Botany Bay falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
For contractors at a college like Oak Hill College, 2.7 miles south of Botany Bay, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. Historic houses such as Forty Hall (to the east of Botany Bay) are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

Botany Bay: questions and answers
Could you schedule work at a campus like Oak Hill College for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Chase Farm Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Frost and condensation on glass and steel are common on winter mornings, so we plan around the forecast.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and we’ll price the work around it.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Common problems we fix in Botany Bay
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Hospital estates such as Chase Farm Hospital, 1.2 miles to the south-east of Botany Bay, 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.
