Facade sealing in Sands End, done properly
Facade sealants sit in the sun, rain and frost every day, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and air leaks through failed facade joints, across stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Sands End, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Sands End must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

What we’re called out for in Sands End
Not every failure is in the sealant: crumbling render, spalling concrete or flaking paint take the sealant with them. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
For a contractor at a hotel such as DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel London - Chelsea, less than half a mile to the north-west of Sands End, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.

From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. In Sands End, most buildings stay in use during the work, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

How the job changes by surface
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Check older buildings for asbestos before disturbing old mastic. Older sealants can contain asbestos.

Sands End: questions and answers
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Royal College of Art?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does your area include sites such as Town Mead Business Centre, near Sands End?
Yes, sites like Town Mead Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Sands End. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you cover Sands End?
Yes. We cover Sands End, and you can ring 01277 525 020 or email us to get started.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What happens if it’s left?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

- Access and working height

There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote.
