After the work
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed.
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 we handle facade sealing in Elm Park
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, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Elm Park tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Construction in a London area such as Elm Park means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. Mastic is usually one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like Barking and Dagenham College for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you are arranging and any site restrictions, and we’ll price the work around it.
Sites and facades in and around Elm Park
Site traffic in Elm Park falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. Elm Park has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Rom Valley Retail Park (1.6 miles north-west of Elm Park), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. School extensions, at buildings such as Elm Park Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. Extensions at sites like Queens Hospital (to the north-west of Elm Park) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.
Elm Park is about 2 miles south of Romford, in Greater London. We cover Elm Park, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, including Elm Park. Our London page has more on work in that area, about 13 miles away.

How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. The choice depends on the specification and finish.
Our process
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. In Elm Park, 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.
- 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.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
Why it’s worth doing now in Elm Park
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Cost factors for facade joints
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Joint width, depth and condition
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
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
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
