Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Owners, agents and contractors
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in West Hill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are complaints coming in block by block and leaks at window and door perimeters. Whoever orders the work in West Hill, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In a smaller place such as West Hill, landlords and agents tend to look after small blocks, flats over shops, sheltered housing and commercial units. The mastic around their frames and external joints ages like anywhere else.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Mastic sealing around West Hill: what changes locally
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from West Hill. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Six care or nursing homes sit less than 2 miles from West Hill. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Centenary Industrial Estate, 0.9 miles north-east of West Hill, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Brighton station (less than half a mile east of West Hill) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

FAQs: West Hill
Does your area include sites such as Centenary Industrial Estate, near West Hill?
Yes, sites like Centenary Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of West Hill. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is West Hill off your patch?
Not at all. West Hill is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, because every site is different. Send photos or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you need mastic sealing in West Hill?
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Student blocks close to universities like University of Brighton Moulesecoomb Campus (1.5 miles north-east of West Hill) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
