Facade sealing around Moor Street: points for this area
Moor Street lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, and the sealant, primer and backing need choosing with that in mind. Moor Street is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack.
School extensions, at buildings such as Leigh Academy Rainham, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Newington Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles south-east of Moor Street, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.

How we handle facade sealing in Moor Street
Managing agents and owners in Moor Street ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. The enquiries we see most involve cold air coming in at window perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, cladding panel joints and window and door perimeters. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Moor Street it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Moor Street, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Jobs in and around smaller places like Moor Street are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- 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.
- 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.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

When to bring in a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why act early in Moor Street
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, which is often the biggest saving. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Moor Street. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why appoint us
- Colours confirmed for the specified product
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

Moor Street: questions and answers
Is Moor Street off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich - Medway fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the joint cleaned back to sound material. That is what makes the new joint last.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards using a matching sealant.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money.
When to call us in Moor Street
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
On a healthcare site such as Medway Maritime Hospital (4 miles west of Moor Street), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

When it isn’t the sealant
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
