About our facade sealing in Staples Corner

We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Failed perimeter sealant is a frequent cause, though that isn’t the only cause. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you are dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and discoloured or dirty facade joints, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Staples Corner 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.

A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building.

Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will come back to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners

We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Staples Corner. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.

If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.

Maintenance after handover

Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:

  • Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
  • Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
  • Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
  • Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear

Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.

In pre-2000 buildings, check the asbestos register before old sealant is cut out. Some older mastics contain it.

From enquiry to sign-off

Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.

  1. First we review photos, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
  2. Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
  3. Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
  4. Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
  5. The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
  6. The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.

Before we start on site

  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Tell us which areas need to stay in use
  • Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

What affects the price in Staples Corner

Before we quote, we look at:

  • Phasing around occupants
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Any access equipment needed

Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.

What to include in your enquiry

It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:

  • Your programme or deadline
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule

The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings to discuss it first.

Do you need facade sealing in Staples Corner?

Sometimes the substrate is the problem: if the edge of the render, concrete or coating breaks away, the bead goes with it. When the joint edges need repair first, we say so.

These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:

  • Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
  • Staining on stone next to old sealant
  • Water coming in around window frames
  • Previous reseals run over old sealant

On a campus such as Middlesex University, which lies north of Staples Corner, new teaching buildings and residences are usually built and refurbished around the academic year.

How to choose a sealant contractor

Surface by surface

Perimeter joints at frames and structure

Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed using a sealant classified for that use.

Render and coated surfaces

Where the joint will be painted over, a paintable hybrid or PU sealant may suit. The choice depends on the specification and finish.

Your questions answered

Would you work within a site like BMI Hendon 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.

Can you work around term dates at a campus such as Middlesex University?

Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.

Is it okay to overlay old mastic?

No. New sealant won’t hold on old sealant, so the old bead is cut away. That is what makes the new joint last.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.

Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?

It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.

What will the job cost?

Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Does the weather affect the work?

For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Mastic packages on Staples Corner sites

Staples Corner has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in Staples Corner. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.

Projects at colleges like College of North West London, 1.5 miles south-west of Staples Corner, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Units on estates such as Brent Cross Shopping Park, under half a mile east of Staples Corner, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
