Facade Sealing in North Harrow
Planning work on a facade joint in North Harrow? We look at it, seal it with the right product and hand it over with a 12-month guarantee.

- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Facade sealing for North Harrow sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in North Harrow
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are previous reseals run over old sealant and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. A single leaking joint is often how a building in North Harrow 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, North Harrow 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.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in North Harrow can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Advice
Facades, frames and programmes in North Harrow
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, North Harrow included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. Several hotels sit less than 2 miles from North Harrow. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Further education sites such as Christ the Redeemer College, 0.5 miles south-west of North Harrow, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break. On a healthcare site such as Cygnet Hospital, which lies south-east of North Harrow, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Units on estates such as Harrovian Business Village (to the south-east of North Harrow) tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Phasing around occupants
- Any access equipment needed
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
- The type of building and who uses it
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Why deal with it now?
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 early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

What sealant work can’t fix
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Other services in North Harrow
North Harrow: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Cygnet Hospital?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
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.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit before quoting.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
