Mastic sealing in Westbere
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Most enquiries involve leaks at window and door perimeters and no planned programme for sealant, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whoever orders the work in Westbere, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For owners with a single building near Westbere, we plan to finish in one visit where possible. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

Do you need mastic sealing in Westbere?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Damp patches beside frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Sturry station, 1.2 miles south-west of Westbere, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Mastic sealing around Westbere: how the place shapes the job
Rainfall across the South East, Westbere included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. External mastic still waits for dry faces and the right temperature, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building typically need attention first. At about 55 miles from central London, Westbere is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Schools and community buildings such as Spires Academy need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Canterbury Industrial Park, which lies east of Westbere, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Westbere is about 3 miles north-east of Canterbury, in Kent. Looking for mastic sealing in Westbere? We can help, as we do across Kent. Westbere is one of 931 places we cover in Kent. Sites around London have their own page, roughly 55 miles from Westbere.

After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
How a job runs
We follow your site rules from the start: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it. Jobs in and around smaller places like Westbere are normally planned as a single visit, so we ask for photos and rough sizes first. That way the right products come on the day.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
Getting a fixed quote
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

Common questions from Westbere clients
Can you quote for a block close to Sturry station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Westbere too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
