Questions about Romford
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Is a hospital such as Queens Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit before quoting.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Normally, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
Can you send site paperwork?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Facade sealing in Romford, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. How long a joint lasts depends on the movement it takes, its exposure, the product and how well it was installed. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are previous reseals run over old sealant and sealant pulling away from frames or panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Romford from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What sets the cost
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- The total length or number of joints
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- When you need the work done
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
Why deal with it now?
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us
- One number for every site we cover
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over

Facades, frames and programmes in Romford
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, Romford included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. A 2-mile radius around Romford takes in a number of hotels. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
For contractors at a college like Barking and Dagenham College (1.1 miles south of Romford), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays. School extensions, at buildings such as Concordia Academy, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Romford is about 12 miles west of Basildon, in Greater London. Our applicators travel to Romford for work on facade joints. Romford is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list for facade joints. Our London page has more on work in that area.

What else we do in Romford
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

What we can’t put right
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work in Romford
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Where framed systems such as shopfronts meet the building structure, there is a perimeter joint to seal. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
Brick and stone facades
Stone can absorb plasticisers from the wrong sealant. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
What we are called out for in Romford
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Work at a hotel such as Mawney Hotel (less than half a mile north-west of Romford) tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included.
