Facade sealing across Fish Island
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Fish Island can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Move anything stored against the joints

How we handle facade sealing in Fish Island
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. We work on shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we are called in for most is gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Fish Island from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Fish Island, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. 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. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly using a matching sealant.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Working within restricted access windows
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The postcode of the building
- Specification clauses that apply
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Your questions answered
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Homerton University Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters across the facade.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Joints and surfaces we work on

Why it’s worth doing now in Fish Island
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Fish Island takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

Facades, frames and programmes in Fish Island
The area within 2 miles of Fish Island holds a good number of hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Fish Island included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
New units and refits on sites such as Stour Road Industrial Estate (to the south of Fish Island) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. Hotels like City View Hotel (to the south-west of Fish Island) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Building work at universities like University of Staffordshire London Campus (0.5 miles north of Fish Island) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
