Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Westcombe Park
Access is part of every facade job, and we plan it with you before quoting. Tell us about access: whether scaffold is already up, what the client is arranging, and any restrictions on the site. If you have discoloured or dirty facade joints and failed sealant on precast panel joints, we can help, on window and door perimeters, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure alike. For commercial sealant work in Westcombe Park, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Building sites in London tend to be tight: small compounds, delivery slots and shared hoists and scaffold. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

FAQs: Westcombe Park
Can work at a site such as University of Greenwich fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. 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 work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. The building manager’s rules go straight into our method. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Do you provide access for facade work?
That varies with the building and the access on offer. Share what access exists or is planned when you send details.
Do you work in Westcombe Park?

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a single day to several weeks, depending on joint lengths, access and the weather, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For a job in Westcombe Park, access comes first. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Flag any permit to work we will need

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters
Frame-to-wall joints at windows and doors are the facade joints we reseal most. A low-modulus neutral-cure product, chosen for the frame and wall, goes in.
Render and coated surfaces
Rendered and painted facades need a sound edge for the sealant to bond to. We remove flaking material so the bead bonds to a firm surface.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Facade sealing in Westcombe Park: the local picture
There are a good number of hotels within about 2 miles of Westcombe Park. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. Site traffic in Westcombe Park falls within London’s ULEZ, like everywhere else in Greater London. Add booked deliveries and tight storage, and the mastic package needs planning with the site team.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as King William Hotel, 0.7 miles west of Westcombe Park, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows. University estates such as University of Greenwich (1.1 miles west of Westcombe Park) tend to have a rolling programme of new buildings and refurbishments, each with window perimeters and facade joints to seal. Further education sites such as Christ the King Sixth Form College (to the south-west of Westcombe Park) are extended and refurbished from time to time, with mastic often programmed into the summer break.
Westcombe Park is about 2 miles east of New Cross, in Greater London. We send applicators to Westcombe Park for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. We work across 764 places in Greater London, from busy centres to rural villages.

Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check that rainwater leaves the facade the way it was designed to
- Avoid harsh cleaners on facade sealant
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Look at perimeter and panel joints as part of routine building checks. Watch for splits, gaps at the edges, hardening and discolouration; record the locations.
Use each reseal to correct the joint: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Owners, agents and contractors
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
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.
