Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Woodside
Most facade joint failures trace back to the joint, not just the sealant. The width has to suit the expected movement and the sealant’s movement capability, and closed-cell rod sets the depth, keeping the bond to two faces. If you have patch repairs that keep failing and sealant pulling away from frames or panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Woodside tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
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, so tidy, well-planned work matters.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Common questions from Woodside clients
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Shirley Oaks Hospital, something you do?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you cope with the access rules in a London building?
Yes. Booked loading bays, goods lifts and permit-to-work systems are normal for London jobs. Share the building’s contractor rules and we’ll work to them. All of Greater London is inside the ULEZ, and our planning allows for it
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit normally takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months.
What do you charge?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. For yours, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
In most cases, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Most London premises stay occupied while we are on site, so we agree zones and timings with the building or facilities manager. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- 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 and both faces cleaned back.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Woodside
Each spell of rain drives water past a failed facade joint. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Failed sealant in a building in Woodside can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Mastic packages on Woodside sites
A good number of hotels sit less than 2 miles from Woodside. When hotels extend or refit, the work is usually squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Site traffic in Woodside 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.
Units on estates such as Chaffinch Business Park, 1 mile to the north-east of Woodside, tend to be reclad and refitted as tenants change, and each job leaves cladding and perimeter joints to seal. School extensions, at buildings such as St Thomas Becket Catholic Primary School, usually run to the summer holidays, mastic included.

Common problems we fix in Woodside
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
Hotels like Croydon Park Hotel, 1.4 miles to the south-west of Woodside, rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists

Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Looking after the joints
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Avoid patch repairs on failed facade joints
Let the new sealant cure before washing the facade or windows near it. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead and tell your cleaning contractor.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
