How we handle facade sealing in West Norwood
External sealing depends on the weather more than most trades. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. If you’re dealing with cold air coming in at window perimeters and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from West Norwood 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.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in West Norwood must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Add booked delivery slots and limited storage, and a London mastic package needs planning before the first bead.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Different surfaces, different methods
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. Our work is that perimeter joint.
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Sites and facades in and around West Norwood
West Norwood has a number of hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel extensions and refits typically have to fit around bookings, so mastic dates are tight. Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in West Norwood. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
When a college such as Capel Manor College (1.2 miles south-east of West Norwood) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package typically has to fit around students and staff. For a contractor at a hotel such as Astra Palace Hotel, which lies east of West Norwood, the mastic often has to be finished before a reopening date. Units on estates such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate, under half a mile east of West Norwood, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal.
West Norwood is about 5 miles south of London, in Greater London. We send applicators to West Norwood for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. West Norwood is one of 764 places we cover in Greater London.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed rather than sitting against the joints.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down and limits disruption.
Your questions answered
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Norwood, such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in West Norwood and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Hamilton Road Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a hospital such as British Home & Hospital for Incurables somewhere you can work?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
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.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can the sealant be colour-matched?
That depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so we will confirm the colours available for the specified product with the quote.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
The product follows the joint’s movement, the surfaces and the specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them, and we work to what is specified.

Work for main contractors and building owners
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Leave it or put it right?
If access is already up for other work, resealing at the same time makes sense. Coordinating facade sealing with other external works avoids paying for access twice. 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 price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
