Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
About our facade sealing in Westfield
External joints face UV, rain, temperature swings and building movement all year, and they wear out over time. Life depends on movement, weathering, product choice and the quality of the original work. When the time comes, we cut the old sealant out completely and start again. Most enquiries involve cladding panel joints that have opened up and cold air coming in at window perimeters, across coping and flashing joints, stone and brick facade joints and shopfront frames. Searching for sealant specialists in Westfield? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Sites near smaller places like Westfield can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Questions we are asked in Westfield
Can the mastic package for our job in Westfield follow the site programme?
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.
Is hospital work, at somewhere like Dunbar Hospital, something you do?
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 the work guaranteed?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Looking after the joints
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
- Note when each elevation was last resealed
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. Sharing the access keeps the cost down.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Leaks from roofs, gutters or failed flashings rather than sealant joints
- Render or concrete edges that have broken away
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why it’s worth doing now in Westfield
Patch repairs over old sealant tend to come back. A full cut-out and reseal costs more on the day but lasts much longer and avoids repeat call-outs. For buildings near Westfield, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why us?
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- RAL and finish matching where the product range allows

New build and refits around Westfield
The east of Scotland, where Westfield is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We programme around it with the site team. Building work in Westfield comes under the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 and their technical handbooks, with warrants from the local authority verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.
On a healthcare site such as Dunbar Hospital, 3.5 miles to the north-east of Westfield, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Sites around Westfield get mastic sealed to the drawings and the programme, nothing improvised.
