Facade sealing for Westwood sites
Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Investigate damp beside windows promptly
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
After heavy weather, check vulnerable elevations for signs of water inside. An early report typically means a small reseal rather than a bigger repair.
Get the joint design right when resealing: the right width, backing rod and a sealant with enough movement capability. Repeating a faulty detail just repeats the failure.
Facade sealing in Westwood
Some clients need every window on a block resealed; others need a few leaking frames sorted. The approach doesn’t change with the size: cut out, clean, back, prime where needed and seal. A 12-month guarantee applies to our workmanship. Site teams most often ask us about discoloured or dirty facade joints and patch repairs that keep failing, across shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints. Most enquiries from Westwood start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places like Westwood, building work usually means conversions of farm buildings, a few new houses or an extension to a hall or school. Each still needs a proper mastic package: window perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant to the specification.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Why deal with it now?
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: wet edges break down, so repairs may be needed before resealing. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. For buildings around smaller places like Westwood, water damage can go unnoticed for longer, especially where a building isn’t used daily, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.

How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Any access equipment needed
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Before you send an enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Specification clauses that apply
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
When something else is needed
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Cracked or spalling substrates that need repair before sealing
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
- Installing or repairing glazing systems
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Shopfront frames
- Cladding panel joints
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
Surface by surface
Cladding panel joints
Where panels are sealed rather than open-jointed, the bead is part of the weather line. Failed runs are cut out and rebuilt end to end to the correct depth.
Perimeter joints at frames and structure
These frame-to-structure joints take a lot of movement and weather. They are cut out, cleaned, backed and resealed with a product suited to glazing perimeters.
Questions we are asked in Westwood
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Greenwich for the vacation?
Yes. Education sites usually want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Darent Valley Hospital?
Yes, healthcare and care buildings are part of our work. We follow the site’s permits, sign-in and infection-control procedures in every area.
Do you cover Westwood?
Yes. We cover Westwood and the rest of Kent. For a quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Which sealant do you use on facades?
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.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. If you need card details for site access, tell us and we will confirm them with the quote.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Rural sites near Westwood may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we’ll build it into the plan.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- Weather and temperature are checked against the product’s limits.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.

Facade sealing around Westwood: points for this area
Westwood is about 18 miles from central London. Commuter-belt towns tend to see a steady flow of new flats, offices and commercial schemes, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Westwood is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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.
Extensions at sites like Darent Valley Hospital, 2.4 miles north-west of Westwood, typically sit beside working departments, and the mastic follows strict access rules. For contractors on a campus like University of Greenwich, 2.4 miles north-west of Westwood, facade and perimeter sealing has to fit around students and term dates. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Fawkham Business Park, 1 mile south of Westwood, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
Westwood is about 3 miles south of Swanscombe, in Kent. If you are looking for facade sealing in Westwood, we can help, as we do across Kent. 931 places across Kent fall within our area, Westwood among them. Our London page has more on work in that area.
