Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Old Ford
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Old Ford. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. Site teams most often ask us about previous reseals run over old sealant and old perimeter mastic that has dried out, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, window and door perimeters and coping and flashing joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Old Ford is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Old Ford, 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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.

Common problems we fix in Old Ford
Adhesive failure, where the sealant peels away from one face, usually comes from poor preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
New units and refits on sites such as Old Ford Trading Estate, under half a mile to the west of Old Ford, need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

Contractors’ notes for Old Ford
A 2-mile radius around Old Ford takes in a good number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Old Ford included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
For a contractor at a hotel such as City View Hotel (under half a mile west of Old Ford), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. When a college such as International College of Musical Theatre (to the north of Old Ford) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.

What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. These joints take full exposure to weather.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.

Old Ford: questions and answers
Do you take on jobs in Old Ford where loading and access are tightly controlled?
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 Mile End Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can you be on site?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will be honest about which it is.
Do you cover Old Ford?
Yes. Sites across Old Ford are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
