Building and refurbishing in Slade Green
Site traffic in Slade Green falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for. Slade Green has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
University estates such as University of Greenwich (to the south-east of Slade Green) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. For contractors at a college like London South East Colleges: Bexley, 1.3 miles north-west of Slade Green, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
Slade Green is about 1 mile south-east of Erith, in Greater London. We send applicators to Slade Green for facade joints. Slade Green is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for facade joints. Sites around London have their own page, about 13 miles away.

How we handle facade sealing in Slade Green
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, so the price covers the real job. If you’re dealing with gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Slade Green, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

FAQs: Slade Green
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Erith and District Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Do you take on small jobs?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead, as the specification or substrate requires.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Why act early in Slade Green
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice, which is often the biggest saving. Failed sealant in a building in Slade Green can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.

Common problems we fix in Slade Green
Product choice matters: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
For contractors at a school such as St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
What your quote should include
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- How they’ll work around occupants
Diagnose, treat, sign off
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 anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Doing it in-house
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
