Facade sealing for commercial buildings in West Wickham
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 remove failed sealant and install a new bead chosen for the joint and how far it moves. If you’re dealing with weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels, we can help. Most enquiries from West Wickham start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, so contractors’ vehicles on a job in West Wickham must meet its standards or pay the daily charge. Alongside that, sites normally need booked deliveries and a plan for where materials go.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Questions we’re asked in West Wickham
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Share the building’s contractor rules and we will work to them. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
Do you cover business parks and estates near West Wickham, such as Chaffinch Business Park?
Yes. We cover West Wickham and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chaffinch Business Park. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Can the building stay open while you work?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How is access to upper-level joints handled?
That comes down to the access arranged for the job. When you call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings, describe the access.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Report water ingress at frames as soon as it shows
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Plan facade sealing alongside redecoration
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant and tell your cleaning contractor.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. We sign and contain the area we’re in, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- 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.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements

What affects the price in West Wickham
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- How accessible the joints are
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work

Mastic packages on West Wickham sites
Every borough of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and that applies to contractors’ vehicles on any job in West Wickham. London sites also mean booked deliveries and limited storage, which the mastic programme has to allow for.
Projects at colleges like Shaftesbury Nash College (to the east of West Wickham) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. Units on estates such as Chaffinch Business Park, 1.8 miles north-west of West Wickham, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. Hospital estates such as Bethlem Royal Hospital (to the north-west of West Wickham) 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.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Early action keeps it simple. Repeat call-outs disrupt occupied London buildings, so a proper job first time, with the old sealant fully removed, is worth it.
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
