What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

About our facade sealing in South Ruislip
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 with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. The enquiries we see most involve weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and air leaks through failed facade joints, on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in South Ruislip tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in South Ruislip must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work. If an installation problem shows up, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in South Ruislip can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We start with photos, 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.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Where the specification calls for sealant at copings or flashings, we can seal them. They sit in the most exposed positions on the building and need a durable external sealant.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.

Cost factors for facade joints
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
What to include in your enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we will return a fixed quote that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and cuts time on site.

South Ruislip: questions and answers
Can you work on a hospital site such as Cygnet Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Could you schedule work at a campus like Westminster University for the vacation?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
Access is planned with you before we quote. Let us know what access is in place or planned, and the quote will reflect it.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. If the water seems to come from a roof, sill or the glazing unit instead, we say so.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
