General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in East Dulwich
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. The enquiries we see most involve air leaks through failed facade joints and staining on stone next to old sealant, across coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in East Dulwich tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Every London site, East Dulwich included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

On site: what to expect
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 we move to the next. Planning a London job such as one in East Dulwich starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Arrange parking or a loading space

Advice
FAQs: East Dulwich
Do you take on jobs in East Dulwich where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like King's College London?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Quoting for work in East Dulwich
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The product specified
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, 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.
What to include in your enquiry
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Facades, frames and programmes in East Dulwich
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from East Dulwich. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, East Dulwich included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
For contractors on a campus like King's College London, which lies north-west of East Dulwich, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When units on a site such as Goose Green Trading Estate (to the east of East Dulwich) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Signs you need facade sealing in East Dulwich
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. We tell you when the edges need repairing before resealing.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as OYO New Dome Hotel, 0.9 miles north of East Dulwich, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Comparing quotes
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
