Facade sealing in Pollards Hill
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have previous reseals run over old sealant and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can put it right, on cladding panel joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pollards Hill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Every London site, Pollards Hill included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: 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.

How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much there is to seal
- The size and state of each joint
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How accessible the joints are
Pricing facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Access details, including height
- Specification clauses that apply
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Pollards Hill. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. In Pollards Hill, most buildings stay in use during the work, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.

What we are called out for in Pollards Hill
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
On a campus such as King's College London (4.2 miles north of Pollards Hill), new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
What to look for in a quote
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
Questions we are asked in Pollards Hill
Would you work within a site like British Home & Hospital for Incurables?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as King's College London?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely and the faces are cleaned before resealing. Nothing else gives a bond that lasts.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
