What we are called out for in West Ealing
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Water coming in around window frames
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Cold air coming in at window perimeters
When units on a site such as Chadha Industrial Estate, 0.6 miles south of West Ealing, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
Facade sealing in West Ealing
A good facade joint depends on design as much as product. Joint width needs to match how far the joint moves and how far the sealant can stretch, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces with the ratio the sealant maker recommends, often around 2:1. If you’re dealing with sealant pulling away from frames or panels and weathered facade joints that have lost their grip, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in West Ealing, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around West Ealing, 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.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
FAQs: West Ealing
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like University of West London?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on jobs in West Ealing where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you replace failed glazing units?
No. That work needs a glazing specialist. We reseal window perimeters, panel joints and frame-to-structure perimeters on commercial buildings.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
What site paperwork can you supply?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we’ll confirm it when we quote.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Providing access systems for the work
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Planning a London job such as one in West Ealing starts with access. Give us the hours we can be on site and we’ll 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 both faces cleaned back.
- 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
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Move anything stored against the joints
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Facade sealing around West Ealing: points for this area
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from West Ealing. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, West Ealing included, so site vehicles need to meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Extensions at sites like Ealing Hospital (to the south-west of West Ealing) typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. Further education sites such as Ealing and West London College, 1.4 miles east of West Ealing, are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour without guesswork.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones.
