5/5 · Google reviews

When do the joints need sealing?

  • Damp inside next to the façade
  • Cracked or detached sealant
  • Open joints between panels
  • Water getting in around windows

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.

Façade joints in Nou Barris: where the water gets in

In 1960s and 70s buildings in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta and El Turó de la Peira, many façades have joints between panels or against the next building that were sealed only once, with sealant now hard and detached. We redo them from the roof, with no scaffolding in the street.

On each joint in buildings in areas such as La Prosperitat, Verdun and Les Roquetes, we cut out the old sealant with a blade, clean the edges back to a sound surface and check the joint is dry. New sealant will not bond to dust or old residue.

A site manager coordinates the rope access team with the residents and, when we finish, we remove sealant offcuts and tape from the façade and pavement. We also travel to the surrounding areas: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

Frequently asked questions

01

Façade joint sealing at height in Nou Barris: which areas do you cover?

We work in Nou Barris in areas such as Porta, Vilapicina i la Torre Llobeta, El Turó de la Peira, Can Peguera, La Prosperitat, Verdun, Les Roquetes and La Guineueta, and also nearby: Horta-Guinardó, Sant Andreu and Montcada i Reixac.

02

Which 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.

03

Can 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.

04

Why 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.
