How the job changes by surface

Precast concrete panels
Joints between precast panels carry real movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod.
How we handle facade sealing in Putney Vale
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away, across coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Putney Vale first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common problems we fix in Putney Vale
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and rips when the facade moves.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors at a college like Wimbledon College of Arts, 2.2 miles south-east of Putney Vale, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Some joints are best left to specialists: 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.
Why deal with it now?
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 now costs less than repairing interiors later. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
