Facade sealing in West Ham, done properly
Every facade quote starts with how the joints will be reached. Let us know what access exists or is planned, and any site rules we need to work around. We work on stone and brick facade joints, perimeter joints where frames meet the structure and shopfront frames, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cold air coming in at window perimeters and leaks at window and door perimeters. Most enquiries from West Ham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around West Ham, as across London, much of the work is refurbishing existing buildings as well as building new ones. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Why act early in West Ham
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Combine it with planned external works and you only arrange access once, saving a second set-up. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so cutting the old sealant out fully and doing it right once is the better route.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

Common questions from West Ham clients
Can you work around term dates at a campus such as University of East 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.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes, most London buildings have access rules of some kind, and we plan around them. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, which we allow for
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If our installation fails in that time, we return and fix it.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Yes, as long as we plan it. We agree a sequence with your contact so just one area at a time is disrupted.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. Check the asbestos register or survey before it is disturbed; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Planning a London job such as one in West Ham starts with access: 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 will schedule to suit.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Point out any areas we must not close

Quoting for work in West Ham
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form to discuss it first.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in West Ham can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.

Mastic packages on West Ham sites
As part of Greater London, West Ham is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in. Plenty of hotels sit less than 2 miles from West Ham. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included.
Hospital estates such as Newham University Hospital (to the south-east of West Ham) 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. Hotels like City View Hotel (to the north-west of West Ham) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.

Signs you need facade sealing in West Ham
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: an acetoxy cure can mark stone or corrode some metals, and interior products break down outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Look out for the following:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Crescent Court Business Centre, 0.9 miles to the south-west of West Ham, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
What your quote should include
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
