Sealing facade joints with a sealant gun

Façade joint sealing at height in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi.

In Sarrià-Sant Gervasi we stop leaks through expansion joints, panel junctions and window frames with an elastic seal that moves with the building.

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 Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: where the water gets in

In areas such as Sarrià and Les Tres Torres, 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.

On each joint in buildings in areas such as Sant Gervasi - Galvany, Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova and El Putxet i el Farró, 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: Les Corts, Gràcia and Horta-Guinardó.

Frequently asked questions

01

Façade joint sealing at height in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi: which areas do you cover?

We do this work in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, in areas such as Sarrià, Les Tres Torres, Sant Gervasi - Galvany, Sant Gervasi - la Bonanova, El Putxet i el Farró, Vallvidrera, El Tibidabo and Les Planes, and also nearby: Les Corts, Gràcia and Horta-Guinardó. Before starting we visit the property and prepare a detailed written quote.

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.
