About our facade sealing in Stockwell
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site, and we will fit the work around it. We work on coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and window and door perimeters, and what we’re called in for most is weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Stockwell tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

From enquiry to sign-off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, keep walkways clear and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- We start with photographs, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stockwell
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, often turning up far from the joint. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
A quote for facade joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.

What else we do in Stockwell
FAQs: Stockwell
Would you work within a site like Lambeth Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
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, so ask for it before we start. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Commercial clients in Stockwell
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building and refurbishing in Stockwell
Stockwell has a good number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. As part of Greater London, Stockwell is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
New wings at hospitals like Lambeth Hospital (to the south-west of Stockwell) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. When units on a site such as Ellerslie Square Industrial Estate (0.7 miles south-west of Stockwell) are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Loughborough Hotel, 0.6 miles to the east of Stockwell, usually run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Stockwell is about 2 miles south-west of London, in Greater London. Anywhere in SW9, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Stockwell is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London for facade joints.

What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
Include facade joints in your planned maintenance inspections. Signs to look for are cracking, edges lifting, chalking and stiffness.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in instead of after the damage.
