Facade sealing for commercial buildings in Westwell Leacon
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and gaps between rainscreen or cladding panels. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Westwell Leacon from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around smaller places like Westwell Leacon, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Jobs in and around smaller places like Westwell Leacon are typically planned as a single visit, so we ask for photographs and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- We start with photos, drawings or a visit to see the joints and agree access.
- Product choice follows the joint’s movement and substrate.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer goes on where the product data asks for it.
- Rod goes in to fix the depth, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- The finished joints are checked with you.
What we need from you
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints

Questions about Westwell Leacon
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as William Harvey Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can the mastic package for our job in Westwell Leacon follow the site programme?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we will plan the mastic to suit the stages. Any paperwork you need, from RAMS to our insurance certificate and CSCS details, is confirmed with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
In older non-domestic buildings, old sealant can contain asbestos. The dutyholder’s asbestos register should be checked first; if it’s suspected, work stops until it has been tested. Removal of asbestos isn’t something we do.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also call 01277 525 020 or email the details over. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, tell us and we’ll confirm them with the quote.

New build and refits around Westwell Leacon
Westwell Leacon is about 44 miles from central London. Construction around the commuter belt mixes station-side flats with refurbished offices and units, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, which is why external dates are agreed with the site manager.
New wings at hospitals like William Harvey Hospital, 5.9 miles south-east of Westwell Leacon, bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal. Older buildings in the area around Westwell Leacon, such as Godinton House, 2.7 miles to the south-east of Westwell Leacon, need care when sealed: the product has to suit soft or historic materials.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Damaged frames that need replacing
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Replacing glass or failed glazing units

Surfaces we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
How the job changes by surface
Brick and stone facades
On masonry, the sealant has to suit a porous, textured surface. We avoid acetoxy silicone, which can stain some natural stone.
Cladding panel joints
Joints between cladding panels open and close with temperature. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
What we’re called out for in Westwell Leacon
Three-sided adhesion is a classic installation fault. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and rips when the facade moves.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Cladding panel joints that have opened up
- Draughts around frames and panels
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
When a school such as The Hayesbrook School is extended or refurbished, the mastic package is often squeezed into the holidays.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- The named product and why it was chosen
