How we handle facade sealing in The Burroughs
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on offices, blocks and industrial units. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. We work on window and door perimeters, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and stone and brick facade joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and air leaks through failed facade joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in The Burroughs tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around The Burroughs, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. Replacement windows, recladding and fit-outs leave perimeter and facade joints to seal, often next to people still using the building, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

Questions about The Burroughs
Is a hospital such as BMI Hendon Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Do you take on jobs in The Burroughs where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Is The Burroughs in your area?
Yes. The Burroughs is in our area. To discuss a job, call 01277 525 020 or email us.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, with some planning. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing, and we work to what is specified.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a visit.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share access with other external trades
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Mastic packages on The Burroughs sites
Site traffic in The Burroughs falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of The Burroughs. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as BMI Hendon Hospital, less than half a mile north-east of The Burroughs, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. Projects at colleges like College of North West London (to the south of The Burroughs) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
The Burroughs is about 2 miles south-east of Burnt Oak, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in The Burroughs use us for work on facade joints. The Burroughs is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 8 miles from The Burroughs.

Quoting for work in The Burroughs
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
- How accessible the joints are
- Location, for remote and island sites
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Your programme or deadline
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Our process
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. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a job in The Burroughs, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First we review photos, 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Send your site hours and access windows

Advice
Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Window and door perimeters
- Coping and flashing joints
When to call us in The Burroughs
Cohesive failure, a split through the middle of the bead, points to an over-stretched joint. Too thin a bead, too narrow a joint or a product with the wrong movement class are common reasons.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
University estates such as Middlesex University (to the north-west of The Burroughs) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
