Mastic sealing for businesses in Pimlico
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Mastic sealing in Pimlico
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are leaks at window and door perimeters and open joints in brickwork or panels. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pimlico is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For managing agents in Pimlico, resident access, notice periods and the building’s rules shape the job. We work to the agent’s notice and access plan, so residents know what’s happening.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Pimlico as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we are cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact. Most London premises stay occupied while we’re on site, so zones and timings are agreed with whoever manages the building. Phased work keeps the rest of the building in use.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Move anything stored against the joints
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
What happens if it’s left?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Getting scaffold, permits or access booked in Pimlico takes effort, so while access is arranged it pays to renew all failing joints, not just the worst.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Common questions from Pimlico clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near London Victoria station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you work in a London building with booked loading and goods-lift slots?
Yes. Inductions, permits and timed loading are routine for us in London. Send the building rules and access times with your enquiry.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Pimlico
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Gabriel's are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
Questions to ask before you book
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think.
