How we handle facade sealing in Pilgrims Hatch
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip. We will tell you if we think the leak is coming from somewhere sealant won’t fix. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Pilgrims Hatch? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In a smaller place such as Pilgrims Hatch, construction tends to mean small housing schemes, conversions and extensions to community buildings. Small schemes still need window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant done to the specification.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Surface by surface
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
The joint around a framed system, where it meets the structure, needs sealant. We seal those perimeter joints.
Window and door perimeters
Frame materials vary, and so does the preparation. We clean and prime to the sealant maker’s guidance for each surface.
Pilgrims Hatch: questions and answers
Will you take on work at estates like Warley Hill Business Park, close to Pilgrims Hatch?
Yes. We cover Pilgrims Hatch and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Warley Hill Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is a smaller place like Pilgrims Hatch outside your area?
No. Places such as Pilgrims Hatch are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Is your workmanship covered by a guarantee?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. Photos help, and you can phone 01277 525 020 or email us to arrange a visit. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Leave it or put it right?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. For buildings in places like Pilgrims Hatch, one well-planned visit beats several small ones, so we’d suggest renewing all the joints that are going, not just the worst.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.

When to call us in Pilgrims Hatch
The wrong product causes its share of trouble: acetoxy-cure silicone may mark stone or corrode certain metals, and an interior product won’t last outdoors. Most external joints call for a neutral-cure, facade-grade sealant.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Water coming in around window frames
For contractors at a school such as Larchwood Primary School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
Facades, frames and programmes in Pilgrims Hatch
At about 19 miles from central London, Pilgrims Hatch is within reach of the capital. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme. There are several hotels within about 2 miles of Pilgrims Hatch. Hotel refurbishments often run to tight programmes between busy periods, and perimeter and sanitary sealant has to keep up.
Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Warley Hill Business Park (2.2 miles south of Pilgrims Hatch) brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme. On a healthcare site such as Nuffield Hospital, 1.3 miles to the south-east of Pilgrims Hatch, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. If neighbouring businesses or buildings around Pilgrims Hatch need work too, visits can be combined. Mention the building’s opening times and we’ll work within them.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- Failed beads are removed in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Clear debris that holds water against joints
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Keep high-pressure jets and strong chemicals away from new sealant, so brief your window cleaners.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones inside the building.
