Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building around Westcot, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.

Facade sealing in Westcot, done properly
Managing agents and owners in Westcot ask us to, we reseal perimeters across whole elevations or a handful of problem windows. Either way, the method is the same: old sealant out, faces cleaned, depth set and a new bead tooled in. Each job carries our 12-month guarantee. If you have failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames and staining on stone next to old sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Westcot start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For a site near Westcot, 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’ll quote to suit.

Questions we’re asked in Westcot
Is a smaller place like Westcot outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you take on work at estates like W&G Industrial Estate, close to Westcot?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Westcot, W&G Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you use silicone for external joints?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. Specifications often refer to BS EN 15651-1 for facade sealants or BS EN 15651-2 for glazing and we follow the specified product.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes a day or two for a few elevations, and longer where access has to be moved around the building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, let us know and we will send them with the quote.
What affects the price in Westcot
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Working within restricted access windows
- Access and working height
- How much existing material needs removing
- The product specified
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- The product your specification calls for
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
What the job involves on each surface
Coping and flashing joints
Not every coping or flashing leak is a sealant problem. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Render and coated surfaces
Sealant can only hold as well as the render or paint beneath it. Loose coatings are cleaned back first, and areas needing repair are flagged.
Building and refurbishing in Westcot
Rainfall across the South East, Westcot included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Still, external mastic needs dry faces within the maker’s temperature limits, which isn’t every day, so the external programme keeps a little slack. Westcot is about 61 miles from central London. Building activity in the commuter belt runs from new flats near stations to business park refurbishments, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme.
School extensions, at buildings such as The Ridgeway Church of England (C) Primary School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Faringdon Day Hospital (5.8 miles north-west of Westcot), new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. For contractors refurbishing units at places like W&G Industrial Estate, which lies east of Westcot, the mastic covers cladding panels, roller-door and window perimeters.
Westcot is about 4 miles west of Wantage, in Oxfordshire. We cover Westcot and the rest of Oxfordshire, and jobs here get the same fixed quote and 12-month guarantee as anywhere else.

Work for main contractors and building owners
If you look after buildings for someone else, you need clear quotes and clear reporting. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.

What else we do in Westcot
Why it’s worth doing now in Westcot
Every shower drives water through a split perimeter bead. Behind the frame, that can mean damp plaster, stained ceilings, corroded fixings and damaged insulation. Resealing now costs less than repairing interiors later. Converted and older buildings near places like Westcot tend to move, and aged sealant cracks. The right product, sized to the joint, copes much better.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
