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 Olot: where the water gets in

In 1960s to 80s blocks in areas such as Vila Vella and Eixample Malagrida, expansion joints and precast panel joints usually still have their original sealant. When damp shows inside, we cut that seal out and redo it drop by drop.

Before sealing on buildings in areas such as Sant Miquel, Bonavista and Pla de Dalt, we prime the edges to suit the substrate: concrete, stone, aluminium or PVC. Then we gun in the sealant, tool it smooth and peel off the masking tape.

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: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas.

Frequently asked questions

01

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

We do this work in Olot, in areas such as Vila Vella, Eixample Malagrida, Sant Miquel, Bonavista, Pla de Dalt, Sant Roc, Sant Cristòfol les Fonts and Batet de la Serra, and also nearby: Sant Joan les Fonts, Santa Pau and La Vall d'en Bas. 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.
