Leave it or put it right?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, so the real damage is often some distance away. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited
- Fully insured
How we handle facade sealing in Chelsea Harbour
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Chelsea Harbour. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and draughts around frames and panels, across coping and flashing joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Chelsea Harbour is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction in a London area such as Chelsea Harbour means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Signs you need facade sealing in Chelsea Harbour
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
New wings at hospitals like Chelsea and Westminster Hospital, 0.6 miles north of Chelsea Harbour, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Royal College of Art for the vacation?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Is colour matching possible?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you cover Chelsea Harbour?
Yes. We take on work across Chelsea Harbour.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.

Our process
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. For a job in Chelsea Harbour, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

New build and refits around Chelsea Harbour
The area within 2 miles of Chelsea Harbour holds plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. As part of Greater London, Chelsea Harbour is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Chelsea Harbour Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Chelsea Harbour), normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. University estates such as Royal College of Art, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Chelsea Harbour, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Chelsea Harbour is about 2 miles south-east of Kensington, in Greater London. Our applicators travel to Chelsea Harbour for work on facade joints. Chelsea Harbour is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for facade joints.

Quoting for work in Chelsea Harbour
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- Any access equipment needed
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- The postcode of the building
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share access with other external trades
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
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.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
