Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
How we handle facade sealing in Little Ilford
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, while rod fixes the depth and stops the bead sticking to the rear. Most enquiries involve new sealant peeling off old mastic and water coming in around window frames, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Little Ilford first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Every London site, Little Ilford 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.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

On site: what to expect
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. We seal those perimeter joints rather than the system it surrounds.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Questions about Little Ilford
Can work at a site such as University of East London fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. 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 take on work at healthcare sites like Barking Community Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. CHAS accredited, Constructionline member, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
