When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Stone and brick facade joints

- Cladding panel joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in South Tottenham
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. Most enquiries involve sealant pulling away from frames or panels and cladding panel joints that have opened up, on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and window and door perimeters. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in South Tottenham it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Construction in a London area such as South Tottenham means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is normally one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What else we do in South Tottenham
Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Tottenham Hale Retail Park, by South Tottenham?
Yes, sites like Tottenham Hale Retail Park are within our area, along with the rest of South Tottenham. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Can work at a site such as University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Do you install glazing systems?
No. Glazing, windows and glass replacement aren’t part of our work. We seal the joints around them, such as perimeter joints where frames meet the structure.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them.
Why it’s worth doing now in South Tottenham
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Early action keeps it simple. 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.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

Cost factors for facade joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Any specification or named product
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.
New build and refits around South Tottenham
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in South Tottenham. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team. The area within 2 miles of South Tottenham holds plenty of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
University estates such as University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus (to the east of South Tottenham) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as United Lodge Hotel, 1.3 miles south-west of South Tottenham, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For a job in South Tottenham, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Advice
Do you need facade sealing in South Tottenham?
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: 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.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
When a college such as Capital City College, under half a mile to the north of South Tottenham, builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.
What to look for in a quote
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
