Should maintenance staff do it?
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. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Facade sealing around Old Chiswick: what changes locally
A 2-mile radius around Old Chiswick takes in a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Old Chiswick 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.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Kew Retail Park (1.4 miles south-west of Old Chiswick), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Extensions at sites like Charing Cross Hospital, 1.3 miles to the east of Old Chiswick, usually sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules.

Common questions from Old Chiswick clients
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Richmond American University London?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
What will the job cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you find out why a window is leaking?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Many frame leaks are sealant failures, though not all, and we will be honest about which it is.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work in Old Chiswick
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Different surfaces, different methods
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, as the specification sets out.
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. In Old Chiswick, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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 and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

Signs you need facade sealing in Old Chiswick
Not every failure is in the sealant: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
For a contractor at a hotel such as Chiswick Lodge Hotel, 0.6 miles to the north of Old Chiswick, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Proof of insurance
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much there is to seal
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Distance, for remote addresses
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
