How we handle facade sealing in Oakleigh Park
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, so they don’t last indefinitely. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. If you have facade joints cracked through the middle and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Oakleigh Park it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Building and refurbishing in Oakleigh Park
As part of Greater London, Oakleigh Park is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Oakleigh Park. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
On a campus such as Middlesex University, which lies south-west of Oakleigh Park, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Further education sites such as Oak Hill College (to the north-east of Oakleigh Park) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Questions about Oakleigh Park
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Finchley Memorial Hospital, something you do?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. We don’t install glazing systems, windows or glass. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In most cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Oakleigh Park. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we’re called out for in Oakleigh Park
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. UV and weather harden the sealant until it can’t stretch with the building, then it splits or peels.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
When units on a site such as Finchley Industrial Centre (0.6 miles south-west of Oakleigh Park) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Proof of insurance
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. 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.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Work on the window or framing system itself
If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
