About our facade sealing in Harefield

Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve air leaks through failed facade joints and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames. Searching for sealant specialists in Harefield? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.

Around Harefield, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we will come back to it.

How a job runs

The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.

  1. We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
  2. The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Aftercare for building managers

Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:

  • Walk the elevations once or twice a year
  • Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
  • Record the product and colour used on each elevation
  • Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings

After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.

Planned resealing is cheaper than reacting to leaks. Inspect regularly and reseal sections as they start to fail instead of after the damage.

When it isn’t the sealant

Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:

  • Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
  • Installing or repairing glazing systems
  • Providing access systems for the work

Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we seal

  • Cladding panel joints
  • Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
  • Coping and flashing joints
  • Window and door perimeters
  • Stone and brick facade joints
  • Shopfront frames

Facade sealing around Harefield: points for this area

Site traffic in Harefield falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.

Building work at universities like Buckinghamshire New University, 3.8 miles to the south of Harefield, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. New wings at hospitals like Harefield Hospital, under half a mile north-west of Harefield, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Harefield is about 3 miles south of Rickmansworth, in Greater London. Anywhere in UB9, it works the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Harefield is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London. We also cover London, around 18 miles from Harefield.

If you need facade sealing in UB9, the process matches everywhere else we work: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Buildings on High Street, Vernon Drive and New Park Road are within our area. If your building is just outside Harefield, we cover Hill End (1 mile north), Woodcock Hill (1 mile north-east), Batchworth Heath (2 miles north-east), Batchworth (2 miles north-east) and Mill End (2 miles north).

When to call us in Harefield

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.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
  • Water coming in around window frames
  • Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
  • New sealant peeling off old mastic

New units and refits on sites such as Woodcock Hill Industrial Estate (to the north of Harefield) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Common questions from Harefield clients

Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?

Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it

Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Buckinghamshire New University?

Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Do you offer coloured sealant?

In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.

Will you quote for a small job?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.

Do you hold CHAS accreditation?

Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.

How long does a job like this take?

It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.

Can weather delay the job?

For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Harefield

Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.

Why it’s worth doing now in Harefield

If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. Failed sealant in a building in Harefield can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.

Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
