About our facade sealing in Silvertown
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Site teams most often ask us about staining on stone next to old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, on window and door perimeters, stone and brick facade joints and cladding panel joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Silvertown, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Work we carry out in Greater London comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll come back to it.

What else we do in Silvertown
How the job changes by surface
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, with primer where its maker specifies.
What affects the price in Silvertown
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- How much existing material needs removing
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- The product your specification calls for
- When you need the work done
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Silvertown can be scarce. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for 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
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Point out any areas we must not close
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Contractors’ notes for Silvertown
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Silvertown. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Silvertown. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
On a healthcare site such as Newham University Hospital, 1.5 miles to the north of Silvertown, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. On a campus such as Ravensbourne University London, which lies west of Silvertown, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.
Silvertown is about 1 mile south of Canning Town, in Greater London. Across the E16 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Silvertown is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list for facade joints.

Signs you need facade sealing in Silvertown
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Greenshields Industrial Estate (under half a mile west of Silvertown) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.

- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
