How we handle construction mastic in Westwell Leacon
Most of the packages we price run well beyond frames: frame perimeters inside and out, caulking to trims and boards where the specification calls for it, sanitary silicone, kitchens, and the final snag list. Splitting those between trades often leaves gaps in responsibility and gives you a consistent finish across the job. We work on sanitary and kitchen joints, cladding and panel joints and floor and skirting junctions, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are oversized or tapered gaps around new frames and a mastic package split between trades with no clear owner. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Westwell Leacon, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Sites around smaller places like Westwell Leacon can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Drawings, photos and the programme let us give a fixed quote.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What happens if it’s left?
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. We’ll say so if a frame itself is the problem. Halls, stores and units around places like Westwell Leacon may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

Building and refurbishing in Westwell Leacon
Rainfall across the South East, Westwell Leacon included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so we time external mastic for dry faces and agree it with the site team. Central London is about 44 miles from Westwell Leacon. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and each scheme needs its mastic sealed to programme.
For contractors at a school such as The Hayesbrook School, sealing has to be finished before term starts. Hospital estates such as William Harvey Hospital, 5.9 miles south-east of Westwell Leacon, tend to grow and change in phases, often next to occupied wards, so facade and perimeter sealing has to fit the estates team’s plan.

Do you need construction mastic in Westwell Leacon?
On a live site, contamination is the biggest threat to a new joint. Dust, film adhesive, damp and grease on the joint faces prevent a proper bond, so preparation matters as much here as on a reseal.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- A long mastic snag list close to completion
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant alone
- Window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection
- Old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work
With historic properties like Godinton House, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Westwell Leacon, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen

Westwell Leacon: questions and answers
Is Westwell Leacon off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you work on a hospital site such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes, we can. Send the snag list or photos and we will price it, with the work timed to your handover date.
Is the mastic package guaranteed?
Each package is backed by a 12-month guarantee. We are also fully insured for public liability.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
In the majority of cases, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you seal external joints in wet or cold weather?
External sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range. Frosty or damp mornings can hold up external sealing.
How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Travel to remote or island sites
- The size and state of each joint
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Specification clauses that apply
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
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. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a day or two on a small fit-out and several weeks on a large multi-storey package. Rural sites near Westwell Leacon may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Send that with the details and we’ll confirm the plan with the quote.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
