Signs you need facade sealing in Oval
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has typically been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Handel Business Centre, under half a mile to the north-west of Oval, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
How we handle facade sealing in Oval
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you’re dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Oval, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Oval, 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.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Oval
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. The damage builds out of sight: wet linings, rusting fixings, staining and spoiled finishes. Resealing early costs far less than repairing what the water reaches. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Facade sealing in Oval: the local picture
Site traffic in Oval 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 Oval holds a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Belgrave Hotel London, which lies east of Oval, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. Further education sites such as Chelsea College of Art & Design, 0.7 miles north-west of Oval, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex as the frame moves.
Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. In Oval, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

Advice
For managing agents and facilities managers
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
