Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. Failed sealant in a building in Kensal Town can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

How we handle facade sealing in Kensal Town
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We plan for that and keep you updated. Site teams most often ask us about patch repairs that keep failing and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, across shopfront frames, stone and brick facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Kensal Town is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Every London site, Kensal Town 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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Kensal Town as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

General trades versus a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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.
What we are called out for in Kensal Town
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Patch repairs that keep failing
Further education sites such as Morley College London, under half a mile to the south-east of Kensal Town, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod with primer where the product requires it.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.

On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. 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 we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We start with photographs, 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.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

FAQs: Kensal Town
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Imperial College London for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically 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?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
