What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Water getting in through cracked render or porous masonry
- Specialist high-level access methods
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Coping and flashing joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
Facade sealing in Surrey Quays, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around, and we’ll fit the work around it. We work on cladding panel joints, coping and flashing joints and shopfront frames, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Surrey Quays, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Surrey Quays must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites typically need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Signs you need facade sealing in Surrey Quays
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone, and the patch soon lifts.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames after rain
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
On a healthcare site such as Royal London Hospital, 1.9 miles to the north of Surrey Quays, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Commercial clients in Surrey Quays
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Common questions from Surrey Quays clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of Sunderland in London?
Yes. Education sites normally 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.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Royal London Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
Do you work in Surrey Quays?
Yes. We cover Surrey Quays and the rest of Greater London. For a quote, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
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.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Anything drilled through a facade joint breaks the seal. Ask the installer to reseal it properly.
Building facade joints into a maintenance cycle avoids emergency repairs. Regular checks let you renew joints before water gets in, rather than waiting for a ceiling stain.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather. Planning a London job such as one in Surrey Quays starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- Failed sealant is cut out along its full length.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Send your site hours and access windows

Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
