Facade sealing across Little Woodcote
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. In Little Woodcote, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Facade sealing in Little Woodcote, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you’re dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters alike. Most enquiries from Little Woodcote start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Why deal with it now?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Any access equipment needed
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Any specification or named product
- When you need the work done
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.
When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Little Woodcote: questions and answers
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Royal Marsden Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you send site paperwork?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first, and if anything is suspected, we stop until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Will rain stop the work?
Year-round work is possible as long as joints are dry and temperatures suit the product. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start.
