Facade sealing for Notting Hill sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Notting Hill
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and cladding panel joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cold air coming in at window perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Notting Hill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.

Your questions answered
Is a hospital such as St Charles' Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Brigham Young University London Centre for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we’ll send them with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How do we ask for a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others, depending on the substrate and the specification.
Keeping the joints sound
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Share access with other external trades
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos, and work stops until it’s tested if it’s suspected.
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

When to call us in Notting Hill
Sometimes the substrate is the problem: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Charles' Hospital, 1 mile north-west of Notting Hill, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.

New build and refits around Notting Hill
The area within 2 miles of Notting Hill holds a good number of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. As part of Greater London, Notting Hill 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.
Building work at universities like Brigham Young University London Centre, 0.5 miles to the east of Notting Hill, is often timed for the summer, mastic included. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Ravna Gora Hotel (under half a mile south of Notting Hill), typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
