Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Turnham Green
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you’re dealing with air leaks through failed facade joints and facade joints cracked through the middle, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Turnham Green, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.

Different surfaces, different methods
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. A sealant of the right movement class goes in over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. We use a product suitable for the stone where the specification names one.

Do you need facade sealing in Turnham Green?
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. With no backing, the sealant is restrained and tears as the joint moves.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
Building work at universities like Richmond American University London (1 mile north-west of Turnham Green) is often timed for the summer, mastic included.

Doing it in-house
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Commercial clients in Turnham Green
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Turnham Green can form part of a wider programme.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
From enquiry to sign-off
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, 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 Turnham Green, access comes first. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Send your site hours and access windows

Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading.
