Questions we’re asked in West Drayton
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Hillingdon Hospital, something you do?
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 work in London buildings with loading restrictions?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, and we will ask to see it. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the certificate can go with your quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is colour matching possible?
In many cases, yes. Sealants are made in a wide range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or nearby finishes is commonly requested. We confirm what’s available for the specified product when we quote.
How we handle facade sealing in West Drayton
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters, using sealants classified for facade or glazing use. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and what we’re called in for most is staining on stone next to old sealant and previous reseals run over old sealant. Whoever orders the work in West Drayton, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Greater London. If an installation problem shows up, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we’re working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Planning a London job such as one in West Drayton starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll schedule to suit.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- Failed beads are removed in full.
- 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.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in

Related advice
Aftercare for building managers
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. An early report normally 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. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Why deal with it now?
Scaffold or access already on site makes resealing much simpler. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What else we do in West Drayton
What we are called out for in West Drayton
When the sealant tears down its centre, it has normally been asked to move more than it can. The joint may be too narrow, the bead too thin or the sealant the wrong movement class.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
When a college such as Hayes College London (2.1 miles east of West Drayton) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package normally has to fit around students and staff.

Facades, frames and programmes in West Drayton
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of West Drayton. When hotels extend or refit, the work is normally squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, West Drayton included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed.
For contractors on a campus like Brunel University of London, which lies north of West Drayton, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. When units on a site such as Northpoint Business Centre, 0.5 miles to the north of West Drayton, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

Cost factors for facade joints
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with what you know.
Different surfaces, different methods
Brick and stone facades
Joints in natural stone need care to avoid staining. The specified stone-compatible sealant is what we use, with masked edges for a clean line.
Precast concrete panels
Precast panel joints have to absorb thermal and structural movement. We use a sealant with the right movement capability, set over backing rod, primed where the maker specifies.
