Construction mastic in Westwood
Getting a subcontractor through site induction should be simple. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and every applicator holds a CSCS card, and we are fully insured. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. Site teams most often ask us about perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and new external sealant already peeling away, on brick and block movement joints, cladding and panel joints and internal decorators’ caulk. Most enquiries from Westwood 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.
Around places like Westwood, a lot of construction is the conversion of older buildings, and the sealant at those junctions has to cope with two materials that move differently.
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.

Why act early in Westwood
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Sealant hardens, cracks and loses grip with age, UV and movement. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
Why appoint us
- A Constructionline member, so easy to vet
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- CHAS accredited contractor
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
Building owners, agents and FMs in Westwood
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For a site in Westwood, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Photos with rough sizes let us arrive with everything needed.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- We agree with the site team which areas come first.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Joints are prepared, backed and sealed to the specification.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed

FAQs: Westwood
Can work at a site such as Nelson College London fit around teaching?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
Does the sea air around Westwood change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Can you come in just for snagging?
Yes. We clear snags by redoing joints rather than patching them to suit the programme.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Do you do internal caulk as well as external mastic?
Window and door perimeters, internal decorators’ caulk where specified, sanitary joints, kitchens, movement joints and snagging. The scope follows your specification.
Are you CHAS accredited?
We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with CSCS-carded applicators. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
Construction mastic in Westwood: the local picture
Westwood lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Coastal exposure means perimeter and cladding joints work harder than on an inland job, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. At about 65 miles from central London, Westwood is within reach of the capital. 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.
Projects at schools like St Gregory's Catholic Primary School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly. Hospital estates such as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother Hospital (to the north of Westwood) 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. When a college such as Nelson College London (to the south-east of Westwood) builds or refurbishes, the mastic package usually has to fit around students and staff.
Westwood is about 1 mile south of Margate, in Kent. We send applicators to Westwood for mastic packages. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, including Westwood. There’s a separate page for London, about 65 miles away.

Snagging before handover
Snags usually come from damage by following trades, missed joints or poor earlier work. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Joints are cleaned, sealed and tooled neatly and baths are loaded where appropriate before sealing.
