Facade sealing in Manor House, done properly
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you are dealing with old perimeter mastic that has dried out and water coming in around window frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Manor House is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Every London site, Manor House 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.
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.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in

Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint rather than the system it surrounds.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Work on the window or framing system itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work in Manor House
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames

Quoting for work in Manor House
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The site address and postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why it’s worth doing now in Manor House
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Health and safety: CHAS accredited

Questions about Manor House
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as St Ann's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work at a site such as Arena Shopping Park, by Manor House?
Yes. Our area takes in Manor House and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Arena Shopping Park included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We look at the perimeter sealant and tell you whether it has failed as part of pricing. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
