About our facade sealing in East End of London
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you are dealing with perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints alike. Most enquiries from East End of London start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Providing access systems for the work
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Share access with other external trades
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Signs you need facade sealing in East End of London
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
For a contractor at a hotel such as Dockside Hotel, under half a mile to the south-east of East End of London, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Planning a London job such as one in East End of London starts with access: 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.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- 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.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

- The total length or number of joints

The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with what you know.

Questions about East End of London
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like London Metroplitan University: Aldgate Campus?
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.

Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Is colour matching possible?
Often, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
How do we ask for a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, as the specification or substrate requires.
What happens if it’s left?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
