Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Signs you need facade sealing in Sipson
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
New units and refits on sites such as Stockley Close Industrial Park (to the north of Sipson) need their panel and perimeter joints sealed to the specification.

How we handle facade sealing in Sipson
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. When a perimeter bead splits or peels, water finds its way behind frames and into the structure. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Sipson, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported.
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them to the correct depth.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in Sipson 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 start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
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. In Sipson, each extra visit means more notices, permits and disruption, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Questions about Sipson
Do you work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Brunel University of London?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. The 12-month guarantee covers our preparation and application, though not damage or work by other trades.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Requirements differ from site to site, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
Facade sealing around Sipson: what changes locally
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Sipson. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Sipson. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
Hospital estates such as Hillingdon Hospital (2.2 miles north of Sipson) tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan. For contractors on a campus like Brunel University of London, 2.8 miles to the north of Sipson, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates.

Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards.
In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Older sealants can contain asbestos.
