- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

How we handle facade sealing in Lambeth
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, and cold, damp starts can delay work. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you are dealing with hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Searching for sealant specialists in Lambeth? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
Construction in a London area such as Lambeth means working on constrained sites: limited storage, booked deliveries and access shared with other trades. We fit around the programme, sealing each elevation or floor as other trades hand over.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Before you send an enquiry
We can often quote from photos and a few details. Please tell us:
- When you need the work done
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Contractors’ notes for Lambeth
The area within 2 miles of Lambeth holds a good number of hotels. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up. As part of Greater London, Lambeth is inside the ULEZ, which applies to every van on site. Delivery slots and scarce storage shape how and when the mastic goes in.
For contractors refurbishing units at places like Handel Business Centre, which lies south-west of Lambeth, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters. Building work at universities like London South Bank University, 0.9 miles north-east of Lambeth, is often timed for the summer, mastic included.
Lambeth is about 1 mile south-west of London, in Greater London. We cover commercial sites throughout Lambeth. Across Greater London, 764 places are covered, including Lambeth.

Local landmarks in Lambeth
We work on buildings around The Jolly Gardeners pub, Old Paradise Gardens and Lambeth Palace Library.

The countryside around Lambeth includes Bellenden Road Nature Garden and Ludgate Hill.
What we’re called out for in Lambeth
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Contamination, moisture or skipping the primer the maker specifies leave a weak bond, and movement soon pulls it away.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels
- Hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
On a healthcare site such as Evelina London Children's Hospital, which lies north of Lambeth, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
What your quote should include
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

Our process
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. The ULEZ covers the whole of Greater London, and parking near a job is rarely simple. If there’s a loading bay, a car park or a permit we can use, tell us when you send details.
- We look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints, limits the depth.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Before we start on site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Move anything stored against the joints

Questions about Lambeth
Can work at a site such as London South Bank University fit around teaching?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you take on work at estates like Handel Business Centre, close to Lambeth?
Yes. Our area takes in Lambeth and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Handel Business Centre included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically 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 before quoting. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
Most facade and window perimeter joints take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone. Some joints call for hybrid, PU or polysulphide instead.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
