Facade sealing in Holborn, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you are dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation, we can help. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Holborn, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Every London site, Holborn included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites usually need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Great Ormond Street Hospital for Children somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of the Arts London?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Do you cover Holborn?
Yes. Holborn falls within our area, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email to get started.
Can you quote from photos?
Many jobs can be quoted from photos, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
From enquiry to sign-off
Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. 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.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and cuts time on site.
Quoting for work in Holborn
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
Leave it or put it right?
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Water through a failed joint rarely stays where it starts, often turning up far from the joint. Failed sealant in a building in Holborn can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Contractors’ notes for Holborn
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Holborn included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. The area within 2 miles of Holborn holds a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotels like The Bryson Hotel (to the north-east of Holborn) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. On a campus such as University of the Arts London (less than half a mile west of Holborn), new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Grand Vitesse Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the south-east of Holborn, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
