About our facade sealing in Pimlico
We are often asked to look at water coming in around frames. Very often the perimeter bead has cracked or lost its grip, but not always. If the evidence points away from the sealant, we say so before quoting. If you’re dealing with weathered facade joints that have lost their grip and weathered joints at frame-to-structure perimeters, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Pimlico it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
For a site near Pimlico, the mastic visit is planned so the right sealants, primers and backing rod are on hand. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we will quote to suit.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Common questions from Pimlico clients
Does your area include sites such as Kings Park Industrial Estate, near Pimlico?
Yes. Our area takes in Pimlico and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Kings Park Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Would you work within a site like Hemel Hempstead Hospital?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Will rain stop the work?
We can work through the year, but sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures within the product’s range. Cold, damp mornings can delay a start, and we build that into the programme.
Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Share access with other external trades
- Never let anyone seal over old sealant
- Record the product and colour used on each elevation
- Walk the elevations once or twice a year
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. It helps when matching repairs or planning the next reseal across the elevation.
Coordinate facade sealing with other external works. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
Why deal with it now?
Resealing a few window perimeters is a small job; repairing water-damaged interiors and fixings is not. Leaks travel along the structure, so the real damage is often some distance away. Halls, stores and units around places like Pimlico may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Sites and facades in and around Pimlico
Pimlico is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager. Central London is about 21 miles from Pimlico. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, so mastic packages have to keep pace with busy programmes.
Older buildings in the area around Pimlico, such as High Elms Manor, 2.2 miles to the south-east of Pimlico, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. On a healthcare site such as Hemel Hempstead Hospital, which lies north-west of Pimlico, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors refurbishing units at places like Kings Park Industrial Estate (1.6 miles south-west of Pimlico), the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Pimlico is about 2 miles south-east of Hemel Hempstead, in Hertfordshire. We send applicators to Pimlico for facade joints, handled exactly as we handle every other area. Pimlico is one of 371 places we cover in Hertfordshire. For work in that direction, see our London page, about 21 miles away.
Commercial sites across HP3 are covered. For a building on Bedmond Road and Hyde Lane or nearby, we can quote for facade joints. Nearby places we also cover include Bedmond (1 mile south), Westwick Row (1 mile north), Nash Mills (2 miles west), Leverstock Green (2 miles north-west) and Bennetts End (2 miles north-west) for facade joints. A short drive away, we cover Watford (5 miles south), St Albans (4 miles east), Welwyn Garden City (11 miles north-east), Harpenden (7 miles north-east), Hatfield (8 miles east) and Hertford (15 miles east).

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
On site: what to expect
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. If others near Pimlico need work, visits can be combined, which keeps travel down. A fixed quote is given before anything starts.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree 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.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
Preparing the site

- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
