For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
About our facade sealing in Upton Park
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. Site teams most often ask us about gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels and leaks at window and door perimeters, across perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Upton Park from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
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.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Upton Park as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Common questions from Upton Park clients
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
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.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Newham University Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Can you send site paperwork?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. It runs for twelve months and covers how we prepared and sealed the joints, though not damage or work by other trades.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. For a job in Upton Park, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- First we review photographs, 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.
- 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.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What else we do in Upton Park
Signs you need facade sealing in Upton Park
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Water coming in around window frames
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
Hospital estates such as Newham University Hospital, 0.8 miles south of Upton Park, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

New build and refits around Upton Park
Upton Park 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. Site traffic in Upton Park falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
For a contractor at a hotel such as OYO Greenleafe Hotel, 1 mile to the north of Upton Park, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Further education sites such as Newham College London, less than half a mile to the south-west of Upton Park, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

What the job involves on each surface
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. Faces are cleaned to sound concrete, and damaged edges are reported first.
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. Neutral-cure products are used because acetoxy types can mark some stone, and primers go on where specified.
