How we handle facade sealing in Selhurst
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Selhurst. Where sealant is the specified fix, we also take on coping and flashing joints. If you’re dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right, on stone and brick facade joints, coping and flashing joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Selhurst 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.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Selhurst must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will arrange a return visit.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Selhurst, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. The sealant has to match the movement and the panel finish, often a low-modulus silicone or hybrid.
When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example 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 you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Signs you need facade sealing in Selhurst
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has usually been asked to move more than it can. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
Look out for the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle

Questions we are asked in Selhurst
Will you take on work at estates like Chaffinch Business Park, close to Selhurst?
Yes. We cover Selhurst and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chaffinch Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you work on a hospital site such as Shirley Oaks Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you seal facades in winter?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. We plan for weather and keep you updated as the work goes on.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
