Facade sealing across Woodford

Different surfaces, different methods
Render and coated surfaces
Paintable sealants exist for joints that will be coated. We confirm the product with you before starting.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Woodford
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. We work on stone and brick facade joints, window and door perimeters and shopfront frames, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are air leaks through failed facade joints and cladding panel joints that have opened up. Whoever orders the work in Woodford, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Construction in a London area such as Woodford means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. Mastic is typically one of the last trades on each elevation or floor, so we keep to the programme and the order of trades the site sets.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
When to bring in a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Areas are handed back as each section is finished.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- A facade-grade sealant rated for the movement goes in, tooled to a concave profile.
- We walk the finished joints with you before handing over.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Why act early in Woodford
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. Access in London is hard enough to arrange once, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Common questions from Woodford clients
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
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
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites typically want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Do we need an asbestos check before resealing?
It’s worth checking in any building from before 2000. The dutyholder holds the asbestos register. If asbestos is suspected, work stops until it is tested.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you cover Woodford?
Yes. Woodford is in our area, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What about RAMS and site documents?
Let us know which documents the site needs, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

What we are called out for in Woodford
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
On a campus such as University of Portsmouth Walthamstow Campus, which lies south-west of Woodford, new teaching buildings and residences are normally built and refurbished around the academic year.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
