What joint sealing includes
-
Joint-by-joint inspection
Working from the ropes, we find cracks, debonding and empty joints.
-
Removing old sealant
We cut out and clean the old sealant until the edges are sound.
-
Backer rod
A foam rod gives the sealant the right depth.
-
Primer
Primer on the edges so the sealant bonds properly to the substrate.
-
Elastic sealant
Polyurethane or MS polymer that moves with the façade.
-
Window and panel joints
Window perimeters, expansion joints and junctions between panels.
How we reseal façade joints in Ciutat Vella
In areas such as El Barri Gòtic and El Raval, when a flat's windows are replaced the outer perimeter is often left unsealed or with bare foam showing. We work on ropes, lightwells included, and let the neighbours on each vertical drop know before we descend.
Around windows in homes in areas such as Sant Pere, Santa Caterina and La Ribera, we first check whether water is getting in through the joint or through the frame itself. We seal the frame-to-wall junction and check the sill, which is often where the leak really starts.
We check the joints from outside and the damp from inside, and give you a detailed written quote, per vertical drop or for the whole façade. We also seal joints in nearby areas: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí.

Frequently asked questions
01Façade joint sealing at height in Ciutat Vella: which areas do you cover?
We do this work in Ciutat Vella, in areas such as El Barri Gòtic, El Raval, Sant Pere, Santa Caterina, La Ribera and La Barceloneta, and also nearby: Eixample, Sants-Montjuïc and Sant Martí. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.
02Which sealant do you use for façade joints?
Elastic polyurethane or MS polymer sealants, suitable for exterior use and paintable. We choose according to the façade material and the movement the joint has to absorb.
03Can you seal just the area where water gets in?
Yes. If the problem is localised, we seal the affected vertical drop. During the visit we also check nearby joints, as they are usually the same age and equally worn.
04Why not just apply new sealant over the old?
Because new sealant does not bond well to old sealant or dust. The old one has to be removed, the edges cleaned, a backer rod fitted and primer applied; that way the joint can move without opening again.
