Facade sealing for East Wickham sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The site address and postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
About our facade sealing in East Wickham
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. If you’re dealing with hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in East Wickham from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. In East Wickham, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send your site hours and access windows

Facade sealing around East Wickham: how the place shapes the job
Site traffic in East Wickham 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.
New units and refits on sites such as Gateway Business Centre (to the north of East Wickham) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. When a school such as East Wickham Primary Academy is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Memorial Hospital, 1.4 miles to the west of East Wickham, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.
East Wickham is about 1 mile north-west of Welling, in Greater London. Across the DA16 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Greater London coverage takes in 764 places, from busy centres to rural villages. London is covered too, some 8 miles away.
If you need facade sealing in DA16, SE18 and SE2, the process matches everywhere else we work: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We cover commercial and managed buildings on Keats Road, Darwin Road and Edison Road. Close to East Wickham, our area also takes in Falconwood (1 mile south), Shooter's Hill (1 mile west), Blackfen (1 mile south), Plumstead (1 mile north-west) and Avery Hill (1 mile south-west). A short drive away, we cover London (8 miles west), City of Westminster (11 miles west), Marylebone (11 miles west), Kensington (13 miles west), St Pancras (10 miles north-west) and Shoreditch (8 miles north-west).

Not far away are The Tarn and Summer Hill.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Some joints are best left to specialists: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
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.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We’re fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
Keeping the joints sound
After handover, these steps help:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
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.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Common questions from East Wickham clients
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you work at a site such as Gateway Business Centre, by East Wickham?
Yes. We cover East Wickham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Gateway Business Centre. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If you are not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
