Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Colliers Wood
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve old perimeter mastic that has dried out and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, across coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints. Whoever orders the work in Colliers Wood, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

What happens if it’s left?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Common questions from Colliers Wood clients
Can you work on a hospital site such as St George's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Colliers Wood, such as College Fields Business Centre?
Yes. We cover Colliers Wood and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as College Fields Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work on upper floors?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we will price the work around it.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, with masked edges for a clean line.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The size and state of each joint
- Access and working height
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Specification clauses that apply
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Share access with other external trades
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Some older mastics contain it, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
How a job runs
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Let us know about inductions and permits
