Facade sealing in Westfield, done properly
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you are dealing with discoloured or dirty facade joints and cold air coming in at window perimeters, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Westfield first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Sites near smaller places like Westfield can mean longer travel, so the mastic is planned with as few trips as the job allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Westfield
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we are straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
We work for building owners and managing agents on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Westfield. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Westfield. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Agree which areas must stay open

When it isn’t the sealant
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Movement beyond what any sealant can handle
- Providing access systems for the work
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we seal
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
Common problems we fix in Westfield
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. With no backing, the sealant is restrained.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Sealant pulling away from frames or panels
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
- Discoloured or dirty facade joints
- Failed seals around shopfront and entrance frames
On any site in or around Westfield, the mastic follows the specification and the programme.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their public liability cover
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
New build and refits around Westfield
Westfield is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Winter mornings can still bring frost and condensation on steel and glass. 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.
Hospital estates such as Tippethill House Hospital, 3.8 miles south of Westfield, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: occupants notice draughts and cold spots around windows. A new seal closes the gap for both. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Westfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Westfield: questions and answers
Is Westfield too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Westfield?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. A group of buildings can go on one quote, with one point of contact across South East England, Greater London and Scotland.
What type of sealant goes on window perimeters?
It depends on the joint, the substrate and any specification. BS EN 15651 Parts 1 and 2 cover facade and glazing sealants, and specifications often name them and we follow the specified product.
Can you work while the building is occupied?
Typically, yes. We phase the work so most of the building stays in use, with each area protected and signed.
Can you fit around our working hours?
Give us your site hours and any access windows in your enquiry, and we will schedule the work to suit. You can reach the office between 8am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
