Facade sealing for businesses in South Bank
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so it makes sense to deal with every failing joint while access is in place.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

About our facade sealing in South Bank
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. If you are dealing with water coming in around window frames and new sealant peeling off old mastic, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in South Bank 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.
Every London site, South Bank included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work normally takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather, and we clear our waste as we work. 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.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- 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.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Request a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Concrete edges can be dusty or weak. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair first.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
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 easy to get wrong without experience.

What affects the price in South Bank
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Specification clauses that apply
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around South Bank. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Common questions from South Bank clients
Do you take on jobs in South Bank where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Can work at a site such as University of Notre Dame (London Global Gateway) fit around teaching?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we will confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
In many cases, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Can you send site paperwork?
Each site asks for different documents, so list what you need, whether RAMS, insurance or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
Facade sealing in South Bank: the local picture
Site traffic in South Bank 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. South Bank has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hotels like London Marriott Hotel County Hall (less than half a mile south-west of South Bank) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. For a contractor working at a hospital such as St Thomas' Hospital, less than half a mile to the south of South Bank, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a college like Morley College London (0.5 miles south-east of South Bank), perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
South Bank is about 1 mile west of London, in Greater London. Across the SE1 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. We work across 764 places in Greater London.
We take on facade joints across the SE1, WC2E and WC2N postcode area, whatever the building. We cover commercial and managed buildings on York Road, Spur Road and Lower Road. South Bank sits on or close to the A301 and A302, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Nearby places we also cover include Waterloo (1 mile south-east), Adelphi (1 mile north-west), Charing Cross (1 mile north-west), Temple (1 mile north-east) and Aldwych (1 mile north). Nearby towns on our patch include Kensington (4 miles west), Walthamstow (7 miles north-east), Hampstead (4 miles north-west), Ruislip (14 miles west), Stockwell (3 miles south) and Orpington (13 miles south-east).
