Sites and facades in and around Haggerston
As part of Greater London, Haggerston is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Haggerston. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For a contractor at a hotel such as Courthouse Hotel Shoreditch, 0.5 miles south of Haggerston, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. University estates such as University of Wales Trinity Saint David London, 0.7 miles to the west of Haggerston, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.

Facade sealing in Haggerston
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. The enquiries we see most involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Haggerston 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 Haggerston 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.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected 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 Haggerston, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- 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 both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies 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
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

Common problems we fix in Haggerston
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Draughts around frames and panels
Hospital estates such as Mildmay Mission Hospital, 0.5 miles south of Haggerston, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.
Questions to ask before you book
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Topping up a failed joint normally buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. Failed sealant in a building in Haggerston can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.

When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.

Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Mildmay Mission Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you fit around our working hours?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
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.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
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.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will tell you which.
