Facade sealing for High Barnet sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Frames grow and shrink with temperature, and the perimeter joint has to follow. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
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 areas needing repair are flagged.
About our facade sealing in High Barnet
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, across stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and window and door perimeters. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in High Barnet, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Every London site, High Barnet included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will arrange a return visit.

What we need to price the job
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The postcode of the building
- Access details, including height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
What sealant work can’t fix
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. We’ll tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.

Signs you need facade sealing in High Barnet
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
University estates such as Middlesex University (4.4 miles south of High Barnet) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Mastic packages on High Barnet sites
High Barnet has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. As part of Greater London, High Barnet is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
On a healthcare site such as Barnet Hospital (0.5 miles south-west of High Barnet), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Hadley Manor Trading Estate, 0.5 miles east of High Barnet, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

Why act early in High Barnet
Topping up a failed joint usually buys very little time. A full cut-out and fresh bead is the repair that holds. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

High Barnet: questions and answers
Would you work within a site like Barnet Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Middlesex University?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
