Do you need facade sealing in North Ockendon?
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, and the patch soon lifts.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For contractors at a school such as The James Oglethorpe Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Facade sealing for commercial buildings in North Ockendon
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits. We plan for that and keep you updated. Most enquiries involve patch repairs that keep failing and damp patches beside frames after rain, across stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and shopfront frames. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in North Ockendon it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Mastic packages on North Ockendon sites
As part of Greater London, North Ockendon is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
New wings at hospitals like St George's Hospital (to the west of North Ockendon) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Historic houses such as Hare Hall, 4.5 miles to the north-west of North Ockendon, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.

On site: what to expect

Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Getting the site ready
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
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:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Questions we are asked in North Ockendon
Can work at a site such as New City College fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like St George's Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Do you work in North Ockendon?
Yes. Sites across North Ockendon are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Do you replace windows or glass?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
