Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in West Street
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in West Street carry our 12-month guarantee. Most enquiries involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. A single leaking joint is often how a building in West Street first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around smaller places like West Street, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll come back to it.

FAQs: West Street
Is Roebuck Business Park, near West Street, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in West Street and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Roebuck Business Park included. To start, just call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is West Street too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. West Street is within our area. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a fixed quote.
What we are called out for in West Street
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Student blocks close to universities like Canterbury Christ Church University, 2.2 miles to the north-west of West Street, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Their public liability cover
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- How they’ll work around occupants
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like West Street. Send photos of each area and we will quote for the lot.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Blocks and managed buildings in West Street
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. West Street is about 39 miles from central London. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.
If you own or manage units on a site such as Roebuck Business Park, 2.5 miles to the west of West Street, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For a school such as The Lenham School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
