Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
Facade sealing in Coombe Hill, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is cladding panel joints that have opened up and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Coombe Hill tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a job in Coombe Hill, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out 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.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Questions we are asked in Coombe Hill
Can you work at a site such as St. George's Industrial Estate, by Coombe Hill?
Yes. We cover Coombe Hill and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as St. George's Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form, describe the access, and we will agree the approach together.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
When can you be on site?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Facades, frames and programmes in Coombe Hill
A 2-mile radius around Coombe Hill takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. As part of Greater London, Coombe Hill is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Projects at colleges like Kingston College Creative Industries Centre (to the south-west of Coombe Hill) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. For contractors at a school such as Robin Hood Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Building work at universities like Kingston University (Kingston Hill Campus), less than half a mile south of Coombe Hill, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry

- Access details, including height
