Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Bow Common
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are new sealant peeling off old mastic and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Bow Common tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around Bow Common, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. 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 stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.

How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Specification clauses that apply
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form if you’d rather talk the job through.

FAQs: Bow Common
Do you take on jobs in Bow Common where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method.
Is a hospital such as Mile End Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Do you work in Bow Common?
Yes. We take on work across Bow Common, with one number for every area we cover.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you work on upper floors?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details, and we’ll plan the work with you.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What we are called out for in Bow Common
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
Units on estates such as Thomas Road Industrial Estate, less than half a mile south of Bow Common, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?

- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

Advice
Why act early in Bow Common
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Bow Common takes effort, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
