Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months on every job.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Facade sealing in Locksbottom, done properly
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we are called in for most is unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Searching for sealant specialists in Locksbottom? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
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.

How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building, so preparation and product choice matter.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported before sealing.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Phasing around occupants
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Specification clauses that apply
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Commercial clients in Locksbottom

Building and refurbishing in Locksbottom
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Locksbottom included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Locksbottom. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
When a school such as Darrick Wood Infant & Nursery School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays. Projects at colleges like Bromley College, 1.5 miles to the north-west of Locksbottom, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. New wings at hospitals like Princess Royal University Hospital, less than half a mile to the south of Locksbottom, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building, and we clear our waste as we work. Planning a London job such as one in Locksbottom starts with access. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Agree which areas must stay open
