Facade sealing in Old Oak Common
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is patch repairs that keep failing and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Old Oak Common tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Every London site, Old Oak Common included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Old Oak Common
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Old Oak Common can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Greater London.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Old Oak Common can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Building and refurbishing in Old Oak Common
Site traffic in Old Oak Common falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. The area within 2 miles of Old Oak Common holds plenty of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
University estates such as Imperial College London (to the south-east of Old Oak Common) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. On a healthcare site such as Hammersmith Hospital, which lies south-east of Old Oak Common, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors at a college like St Charles Catholic Sixth Form College, 1.4 miles east of Old Oak Common, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in.

Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near Old Oak Common, such as Apex Industrial Estate?
Yes. We cover Old Oak Common and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Apex Industrial Estate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you take on jobs in Old Oak Common where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, including perimeters where frames meet the structure.
Can you just add new sealant on top?
No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away and the joint cleaned back to sound material. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
Window and door perimeters
Window and door perimeters make up most facade sealing work. A low-modulus, neutral-cure product suits most frame-to-wall joints, tooled to shed water.
