Your questions answered
Is Cork Tree Retail Park, near Friday Hill, within your area?
Yes, sites like Cork Tree Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of Friday Hill. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
What hours do you work?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register, and we’ll ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Facade sealing in Friday Hill, done properly
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you have old perimeter mastic that has dried out and cladding panel joints that have opened up, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Friday Hill 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. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. A new seal closes the gap for both. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, with the work itself normally taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Planning a London job such as one in Friday Hill starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

What we are called out for in Friday Hill
Sun, rain and temperature swings wear facade sealant down over the years. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Cork Tree Retail Park, 1.8 miles to the west of Friday Hill, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
