Questions we are asked in Tower Hill
Would you work within a site like London Bridge Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Northeastern University London?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
When can you be on site?
Mention the site’s hours and access windows in your enquiry, and we’ll plan around them. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
Low-modulus, neutral-cure silicone suits many facade and perimeter joints. Hybrid or MS polymer, polyurethane and polysulphide sealants suit others.
What do you charge?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Facade sealing in Tower Hill, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. Most enquiries involve water coming in around window frames and air leaks through failed facade joints, on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and cladding panel joints. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tower Hill tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in Tower Hill must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Tower Hill as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Cost factors for facade joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Any access equipment needed
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photos and a few details. It helps to include:
- Any specification or named product
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tower Hill
A few metres of new sealant compare well with replacing ceilings, linings or damaged stock. Leaks travel along the structure. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Tower Hill takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Standard and matched colours in many product ranges
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions

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.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
How a job runs
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Facade sealing around Tower Hill: points for this area
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Tower Hill. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. Site traffic in Tower Hill falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
University estates such as Northeastern University London, under half a mile to the south-east of Tower Hill, tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. When units on a site such as Southwark Bridge Business Centre, 0.8 miles to the south-west of Tower Hill, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package. For contractors at a college like London College of Marketing and Technology, 0.6 miles to the north-east of Tower Hill, perimeters and internal sealant are timed for the holidays.
