How we handle facade sealing in Lessness Heath
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you are dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lessness Heath tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Lessness Heath must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Surface by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one, and mask the edges carefully.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Questions about Lessness Heath
Can you work at a site such as Atlas Trade Park, by Lessness Heath?
Yes. We cover Lessness Heath and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Atlas Trade Park. To start, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can work at a site such as University of East London fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, 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. Inside work is seldom held up.

- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
