How we handle facade sealing in Dormers Wells
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and new sealant peeling off old mastic, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Whoever orders the work in Dormers Wells, the brief is usually the same: 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Signs you need facade sealing in Dormers Wells
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hospital estates such as Ealing Hospital, 1 mile south-east of Dormers Wells, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Barratt Industrial Estate, near Dormers Wells?
Yes, sites like Barratt Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Dormers Wells. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Ealing Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
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.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For a job in Dormers Wells, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
Request a quote
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
