Facade sealing in West Kensington, done properly
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around West Kensington. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you have leaks at window and door perimeters and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in West Kensington, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
A great deal of London construction is refurbishment of occupied or part-occupied buildings, alongside new blocks. New frames, overcladding and fit-outs all end in perimeter and facade joints, frequently with occupants close by.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Kensington
The longer a failed joint is left, the more the substrate suffers: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. In a London building, a failed joint rarely affects only one party. Putting it right early is less disruptive than dealing with the consequences.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Why clients in West Kensington choose us

How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. All of Greater London is in the ULEZ, and kerbside space in West Kensington can be scarce. Let us know about any on-site parking or loading arrangements when you send the job details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Both faces are cleaned and, where the product needs it, primed.
- 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
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Building and refurbishing in West Kensington
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in West Kensington. Deliveries are booked and storage is tight, so mastic materials come in as needed. West Kensington has plenty of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits usually have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight.
For contractors on a campus like University of Westminster, which lies north of West Kensington, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Hospital estates such as Charing Cross Hospital, 0.6 miles south-west of West Kensington, 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.
West Kensington is about 1 mile south of Kensington, in Greater London. If you are looking for facade sealing in West Kensington, we can help, as we do across Greater London. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, including West Kensington.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
When to call us in West Kensington
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
When units on a site such as Berghem Mews Business Village, 0.7 miles to the north-west of West Kensington, are refurbished or reclad, the panel joints and window perimeters are part of the mastic package.

- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What the job involves on each surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
Perimeter joints at frames often show their age first. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed.
Precast concrete panels
Precast arrises sometimes crumble or carry old residue. We clean back to sound material and flag edges that need repair before sealing.
Your questions answered
Do you take on jobs in West Kensington where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we’ll plan accordingly.
Can work at a site such as University of Westminster fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Each site asks for different documents, so tell us what you need and we will confirm it when we quote.
Can staff carry on working while you’re here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Fresh silicone won’t grip cured silicone, so the existing bead is removed entirely. That is what makes the new joint last.
What will the job cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
