Common questions from Northumberland Heath clients
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Can you work on a hospital site such as Erith and District Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we’ll be honest about which it is.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Will rain stop the work?
Rain and frost can pause external sealing. We plan for weather and keep you updated.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Northumberland Heath
Water ingress at window frames is a frequent reason facilities managers contact us. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you have cladding panel joints that have opened up and water coming in around window frames, we can help, on window and door perimeters, coping and flashing joints and stone and brick facade joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Northumberland Heath? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Around Northumberland Heath, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why act early in Northumberland Heath
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
What affects the price in Northumberland Heath
These are the things that shape the price:

Our process
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 typically taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.
Advice
Mastic packages on Northumberland Heath sites
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Northumberland Heath included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. A 2-mile radius around Northumberland Heath takes in a number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
When a college such as London South East Colleges: Bexley (to the north-east of Northumberland Heath) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff. Work at a hotel such as Bexleyheath Marriott Hotel, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Northumberland Heath, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. Building work at universities like University of Greenwich Avery Hill Campus, 4.3 miles to the south-west of Northumberland Heath, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. Rod placed at the right depth lets the bead stretch as the frame moves.
Brick and stone facades
Brick and stone facades have perimeter and movement joints that need a compatible sealant. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, and primers go on where specified.
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
