Facade sealing in Lea Bridge
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 build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Site teams most often ask us about cold air coming in at window perimeters and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lea Bridge tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share access with other external trades
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
Keep a note of which product went in and when. Future work can then match the product and colour.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as Homerton University Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Surface by surface
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod.
Facades, frames and programmes in Lea Bridge
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Lea Bridge included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. Lea Bridge has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
For contractors at a college like New City College, 0.5 miles south-west of Lea Bridge, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. When units on a site such as Eastgate Business Park, 0.5 miles to the north-east of Lea Bridge, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Kip Hotel, which lies south-west of Lea Bridge, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

Work for main contractors and building owners
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. 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 start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
