Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Westfield
We seal window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints, external facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure on commercial buildings in Westfield. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. Site teams most often ask us about cladding panel joints that have opened up and staining on stone next to old sealant, across cladding panel joints, shopfront frames and window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Westfield tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sites around smaller places like Westfield can be a fair drive from suppliers, so we come with everything the package needs, timed to the stage the job has reached. Send drawings or photographs and the programme and we’ll quote to suit.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need facade sealing in Westfield
New sealant run over old sealant rarely holds. Cured silicone won’t accept a new silicone bead, so the new bead peels away within a season or two.
Look out for the following:
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
- Failed sealant on precast panel joints
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
On a healthcare site such as Conquest Hospital, 1.7 miles to the south of Westfield, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. Rural sites near Westfield 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 look at the joints, the drawings and the access before pricing.
- The old bead is cut away completely, not overlaid.
- Joint faces are cleaned to firm, sound material, with primer where the sealant maker specifies it.
- Closed-cell rod fixes the depth, and the sealant grips two sides only.
- The new sealant goes in and is tooled firmly onto both faces.
- The completed runs are checked with you, then the 12-month guarantee applies.
Getting the site ready
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

Advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints move as frames expand and contract in the sun. The rod limits depth, leaving the bead able to flex without tearing.
Cladding panel joints
On sealed panel systems, every joint keeps water out. We cut out failed joints along their full length and rebuild them.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Joints too narrow for the movement they take, which need redesign
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Insist on a full cut-out when joints are renewed
- Share access with other external trades
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
Record the sealant type and date on the building file. Future work can then match the product and colour across the elevation.
Don’t wait for a full elevation to fail. Small repairs stop small leaks becoming large ones behind the facade.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. 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.
Facades, frames and programmes in Westfield
A 2-mile radius around Westfield takes in several hotels. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades. At about 50 miles from central London, Westfield is within reach of the capital. 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.
Older buildings in the area around Westfield, such as Durhamford Manor, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Westfield, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials. For contractors at a school such as Westfield School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

Questions we’re asked in Westfield
Is a hospital such as Conquest Hospital somewhere you can work?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is Westfield too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes longer on a full elevation than on a handful of window perimeters, and it always depends on dry weather. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out 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.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
How much does the work cost?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. With photographs or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
