About our facade sealing in Emerson Park
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you have gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and air leaks through failed facade joints, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Emerson Park first comes to us: 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Facade sealing around Emerson Park: points for this area
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Emerson Park 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. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Emerson Park. Hotel extensions and refits normally have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors at a college like New City College, 0.6 miles to the north-west of Emerson Park, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. New wings at hospitals like Victoria Hospital (1.9 miles west of Emerson Park) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Rom Valley Retail Park (2 miles west of Emerson Park) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

When something else is needed

- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign

Common questions from Emerson Park clients
Will you take on work at estates like Rom Valley Retail Park, close to Emerson Park?
Yes, sites like Rom Valley Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Emerson Park. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Our process
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Emerson Park can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

For managing agents and facilities managers
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Window and door perimeters
Aluminium, PVC-U and timber frames each have their own preparation needs. Primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it for that substrate.
