After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Mastic sealing in West End, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from West End start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Places the size of West End normally have some housing association stock, small blocks and mixed-use buildings. Their window perimeters and external joints need renewing as the mastic ages.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Quoting for work in West End
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much there is to seal
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Joint width, depth and condition
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Common questions from West End clients
Can you work at a site such as Seddul Bahr Industrial Estate, by West End?
Yes. We cover West End and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Seddul Bahr Industrial Estate. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Southampton Airport Parkway station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Building owners, agents and FMs in West End
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.

Blocks and managed buildings in West End
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building usually need attention first. At about 67 miles from central London, West End is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Southampton Airport Parkway station (1.8 miles north-west of West End) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Seddul Bahr Industrial Estate, 1.2 miles to the north-east of West End, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
West End is about 2 miles east of Southampton, in Hampshire. West End sits inside our coverage and the rest of Hampshire, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. West End is one of 723 places in Hampshire on our list.

When to call us in West End
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Student blocks close to universities like University of Southampton, 2.7 miles to the west of West End, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
