Facade sealing in Broadwater Farm
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Broadwater Farm, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Construction in a London area such as Broadwater Farm means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.

FAQs: Broadwater Farm
Can you work on a hospital site such as St Ann's Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Broadwater Farm, such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park?
Yes. Our area takes in Broadwater Farm and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.

What the job involves on each 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.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we’ll mention any edges that need repair.
Do you need facade sealing in Broadwater Farm?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
School extensions, at buildings such as The Willow Primary School, normally run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Broadwater Farm, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Getting the site ready
