Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
Facade sealing in South Ealing, done properly
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. We work on shopfront frames, window and door perimeters and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is cold air coming in at window perimeters and damp patches beside frames after rain. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in South Ealing tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around South Ealing, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. 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.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Questions we are asked in South Ealing
Does your area include sites such as Phoenix Trading Estate, near South Ealing?
Yes, sites like Phoenix Trading Estate are within our area, along with the rest of South Ealing. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Clayponds Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
We agree access with the client at the start. Tell us about access: existing scaffold, what you’re arranging and any site restrictions, and the quote will reflect it.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
There are four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do you hold CHAS accreditation?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Should we check old sealant for asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
New build and refits around South Ealing
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, South Ealing included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. A 2-mile radius around South Ealing takes in plenty of hotels. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
New wings at hospitals like Clayponds Hospital, 0.5 miles south-east of South Ealing, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When a college such as Ealing and West London College, 0.6 miles north of South Ealing, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Signs you need facade sealing in South Ealing
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, then it splits or peels.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Phoenix Trading Estate, 0.6 miles south of South Ealing, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Before you book anyone
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- When you need the work done
- The type of building and who uses it
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Why act early in South Ealing
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer, so you aren’t paying for the same joint twice. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party: water travels through shared structures, and a small leak becomes a dispute between occupiers. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.
