St Johns: questions and answers
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like University Hospital Lewisham?
Yes, hospitals are one of the sectors we cover. Work is phased so departments keep running, under the site’s own rules.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
That depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we will plan around them. Our office runs Monday to Friday, 8am until 5pm.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, so we plan around the forecast.
Keeping the joints sound
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfront frames
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
How a job runs
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

New build and refits around St Johns
Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from St Johns. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, St Johns included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
New wings at hospitals like University Hospital Lewisham (to the south of St Johns) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. University estates such as University of Greenwich - Greenwich Campus, 1.1 miles north-east of St Johns, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Projects at colleges like Lewisham College (to the south-west of St Johns) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

When to bring in a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the job changes by surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. We tell you if the fix is a roofing or metalwork job rather than a reseal.
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.
