What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Arranging specialist high-level access, which is planned with the client
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work in West Hackney
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters

About our facade sealing in West Hackney
Facade joints are the line of defence between the weather and the building fabric. Once a perimeter seal fails, water tracks in around frames and panels. We cut out failed facade joints and reseal them with a facade-grade sealant suited to the movement. We work on stone and brick facade joints, cladding panel joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away and cold air coming in at window perimeters. For commercial sealant work in West Hackney, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Every London site, West Hackney included, is inside the ULEZ, which applies to deliveries and contractors’ vans alike. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For a job in West Hackney, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- First we review photographs, drawings or what we saw on a visit, and agree how each joint will be reached.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Agree which areas must stay open

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
If new signage, brackets or services are fixed through a sealed joint, the seal needs making good. Make sure the joint is resealed afterwards with a compatible product.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Cost factors for facade joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The size and state of each joint
- Working within restricted access windows
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The type of building and who uses it
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Facade sealing around West Hackney: what changes locally
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in West Hackney. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. There are plenty of hotels within about 2 miles of West Hackney. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.
For contractors on a campus like London Metropolitan University (1.8 miles west of West Hackney), facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. For a contractor at a hotel such as The Rose Hotel (0.5 miles south-west of West Hackney), the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date.
West Hackney is about 4 miles north of London, in Greater London. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in West Hackney use us for work on facade joints. West Hackney is one of 764 places in Greater London on our list for facade joints.
Anyone looking for facade sealing in N16, E5 and E8 gets the same process as the rest of our area: details, then a fixed price, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Buildings on Muir Road, Burma Road and Piano Lane are within our area for facade joints. West Hackney sits on or close to the A107, which helps when planning parking and deliveries for the job. Just outside West Hackney, we also work in Shacklewell (1 mile south), Stoke Newington (1 mile west), Clapton (1 mile east), Stamford Hill (1 mile north) and Upper Clapton (1 mile north-east). Further afield, our area takes in London (4 miles south), City of Westminster (5 miles south-west), Marylebone (4 miles south-west), Kensington (7 miles south-west), St Pancras (3 miles south-west) and Walthamstow (3 miles north-east).
Near you in West Hackney
Locally, jobs take us to sites close to The Coach And Horses Public House, Tawhid Boys School and Stoke Newington Common and the streets around them. Also close by are Church of St Andrew (0.8 miles north-west) and The Petchey Academy (0.5 miles south). West Hackney has its own railway station: Rectory Road station. A little further out are Montfichet's Tower (3.5 miles south-west) and Clowns Gallery-Museum (1.1 miles south). Green spaces nearby include Woodberry Wetlands and Hollow Pond.
When to call us in West Hackney
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. Neutral-cure, facade-grade products are what most external joints need.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Homerton University Hospital (1.2 miles south-east of West Hackney), perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries.
Questions to ask before you book
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- The named product and why it was chosen
Leave it or put it right?
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in West Hackney takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why clients in West Hackney choose us
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
- Colour agreed before work starts
- Public liability insurance in place

Your questions answered
Could you schedule work at a campus like London Metropolitan University for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
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. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
What hours do you work?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges offer many colours, others very few, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
