Facade sealing in Hackney Marshes: the local picture
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Hackney Marshes 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. A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Hackney Marshes. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
New units and refits on sites such as Orient Industrial Park (0.6 miles north-east of Hackney Marshes) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification. For a contractor working at a hospital such as Homerton University Hospital, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Hackney Marshes, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
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.
When to call us in Hackney Marshes
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
Further education sites such as International College of Musical Theatre (0.9 miles south of Hackney Marshes) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things as the work goes on.

Can you handle several sites?

It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.

Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Hackney Marshes, 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.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Quotes
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface, and we will mention any edges that need repair.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
