Facade sealing in Cubitt Town, done properly
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we will fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and patch repairs that keep failing. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Cubitt Town, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Contractors’ notes for Cubitt Town
Site traffic in Cubitt Town falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. A 2-mile radius around Cubitt Town takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Hotel Britannia International, 0.8 miles to the west of Cubitt Town, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. On a campus such as University of Sunderland in London (less than half a mile north-west of Cubitt Town), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.

What else we do in Cubitt Town
What sealant work can’t fix
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer.

- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints

What affects the price in Cubitt Town
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The total length or number of joints
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
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.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Cubitt Town. One quote can cover more than one site, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Cubitt Town can form part of a wider programme.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
In a busy building, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

When to bring in a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Questions we’re asked in Cubitt Town
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Sunderland in London?
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.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, but not damage, misuse or other trades’ work.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, which many sites require.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Signs you need facade sealing in Cubitt Town
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
New wings at hospitals like The London Independent Hospital, 2.4 miles to the north-west of Cubitt Town, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
