Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Facade sealing in East Village
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. We work on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are leaks at window and door perimeters and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation.

Mastic packages on East Village sites
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in East Village. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. A 2-mile radius around East Village takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
Extensions at sites like Homerton University Hospital, 1.6 miles west of East Village, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Projects at colleges like International College of Musical Theatre, 0.7 miles to the west of East Village, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Common problems we fix in East Village
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Work at a hotel such as The Stratford Hotel London, under half a mile to the south-east of East Village, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?

When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.
How a job runs
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Planning a London job such as one in East Village starts with access: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- 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.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Common questions from East Village clients
Will you take on work at estates like Maryland Industrial Estate, close to East Village?
Yes, sites like Maryland Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of East Village. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll price it properly.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
