Facade sealing in Bromley Common, done properly
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. Most enquiries involve unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, on perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bromley Common it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.

Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Bromley Common can form part of a wider programme.
From enquiry to sign-off
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and we clear our waste as we work. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Bromley Common can be scarce. 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. 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.
Questions we are asked in Bromley Common
Will you take on work at estates like Chartwell Business Centre, close to Bromley Common?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Bromley Common, Chartwell Business Centre among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich - Avery Hill fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
