How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Facade sealing in Hornchurch
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you are dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Hornchurch, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Every London site, Hornchurch 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 in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Signs you need facade sealing in Hornchurch
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
Work at a hotel such as Devonshire Hotel (to the south-east of Hornchurch) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters

What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
- The total length or number of joints
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Your programme or deadline
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.

Do you cover business parks and estates near Hornchurch, such as Rom Valley Retail Park?

Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
How do I request a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Which sealant will you use?
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 follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report usually means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
