How we handle facade sealing in Ruislip
Sealant around windows, doors and cladding panels stops rain reaching the wall behind. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. We work on coping and flashing joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is facade joints cracked through the middle and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Ruislip from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Construction in a London area such as Ruislip means working on constrained sites: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Ruislip clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Buckinghamshire New University?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Northwood and Pinner Cottage Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with a description of the work.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. 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.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. A glazing contractor handles that. What we seal are the joints around frames and panels across the facade.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Ruislip 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.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Let building users know which areas are affected

When something else is needed
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Damaged frames that need replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
How the quote is worked out
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Your programme or deadline
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or email the details over if you’d rather talk the job through.
Aftercare for building managers
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
- Share access with other external trades
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.

Other services in Ruislip
Doing it in-house
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
How the job changes by surface
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.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint, not the framing or glazing itself.
