Facade sealing in Westwood, done properly
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. The sealant needs a dry joint and temperatures inside the maker’s limits, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We plan for that and keep you updated. If you have air leaks through failed facade joints and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, we can put it right, on shopfront frames, coping and flashing joints and cladding panel joints alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Westwood? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Construction in and around smaller places such as Westwood is often barn conversions, small groups of houses or extensions to halls and schools. Perimeters, facade joints and internal sealant all need doing properly, however small the scheme.

How a job runs
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Jobs in and around smaller places like Westwood are usually planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. Then the right materials arrive with us.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Faces are cleaned, primed where needed and backed.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
Getting a fixed quote
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
Questions about Westwood
Does your area include sites such as Barham Business Park, near Westwood?
Yes. Our area takes in Westwood and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Barham Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University for the Creative Arts for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, 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.
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.
Can you work in cold or wet weather?
Wet joints or temperatures outside the product’s range mean waiting. The programme allows for it and we tell you if the forecast changes things throughout the job.
What hours do you work?
Mention the site’s hours and 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.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
Mastic packages on Westwood sites
Central London is about 56 miles from Westwood. Towns within reach of London tend to keep building, from flats to offices and schools, and main contractors there need mastic that keeps to the programme. Rainfall across the South East, Westwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frost and condensation on steel and glass are common on winter mornings, so external mastic is timed for workable conditions and agreed with the site manager.
On a campus such as University for the Creative Arts, which lies north of Westwood, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. New wings at hospitals like Kent and Canterbury Hospital (to the north of Westwood) bring long runs of window and panel joints to seal.

When to call us in Westwood
A frequent fault is a bead stuck to the joint’s rear face as well as its sides. Without rod or bond-breaker tape, the bead is held back and tears as the joint moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter sealant that has split or peeled away
- Weathered facade joints that have lost their grip
- Previous reseals run over old sealant
Historic houses such as Acrise Place, 4.9 miles south of Westwood, are a reminder of the older buildings in the wider area, where sealing against old stone, brick or timber needs compatible products.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Their public liability cover
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
A quote for facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Access details, including height
- The product your specification calls for
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Your programme or deadline
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with what you know.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Confirm the survey covers external sealants in older buildings
- Share access with other external trades
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Keep gutters, sills and drainage paths clear. Good drainage keeps water moving off the facade rather than sitting against the joints.
Get the joint design right when resealing: correct depth, proper backing and a sealant that can take the movement. A well-designed joint lasts longer than a like-for-like copy of a failed one.
Different surfaces, different methods
Coping and flashing joints
Sometimes the coping or flashing itself has failed. Where the issue isn’t the sealant, we say so.
Cladding panel joints
Panel joints on cladding and rainscreen systems take movement every day. We use a product rated for the movement and suited to the panel surface, as the specification sets out.
