Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
A frame gap that’s too wide can’t just be filled with sealant. We check them during the first walk-round and flag any that need packing or adjusting.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Construction mastic for commercial buildings in Westfield
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out. Most enquiries involve failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner, across brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and floor and skirting junctions. Most enquiries from Westfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
External sealing around Westfield depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Advice
Your questions answered
Is Westfield too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you work to our programme on a site in or near Westfield?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you work to our specification?
The specification decides the product and flag anything that doesn’t look right for the joint. Product standards such as BS EN 15651 are often named in specifications.
How do you work with the site programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we’ll match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Westfield
A quick bead over a damaged joint can get an area past inspection. New sealant laid on old or dirty sealant has nothing to bond to and the defect reappears in the defects period. Damaged joints are removed and resealed from clean faces. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Westfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share drawings and the specification as soon as possible
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
- Flag uneven or tapered frame gaps early
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
A new structure shifts as it loses construction moisture. The right product in each joint copes with that, but caulk in a joint that moves more than expected may crack. If that happens, let us know.
Oversized gaps are a problem better caught early. Filling a wide gap with sealant alone sets up a failure. We flag them as soon as we see them.
Contractors’ notes for Westfield
Building work in Westfield comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. Westfield is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team.
Sites around Westfield get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised. New wings at hospitals like Dunbar Hospital (to the north-east of Westfield) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

Cost factors for mastic packages
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Details that help us quote
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- The product your specification calls for
For a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
When to bring in a specialist
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
