About our mastic sealing in Westbourne
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 and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. If you have damp patches beside frames and communal area joints that look neglected, we can help, on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Most enquiries from Westbourne 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.
Across Greater London, Westbourne included, the ULEZ applies, and parking and loading rules differ from street to street. For a block or estate, it helps to know where we can park and stage materials.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Buildings close to stations like London Paddington station, 0.8 miles to the east of Westbourne, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. Property owners at sites such as Stable Way Industrial Estate (to the west of Westbourne) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Westbourne
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away for example where render or brick edges crumble. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- Damp patches beside frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
Schools and community buildings such as St. Mary of the Angels Catholic Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a job in Westbourne, access comes first: booked loading, goods lifts, the building’s permit system and a spot to keep materials. Give us the hours we can be on site and we will schedule to suit.

Your questions answered
Does your area include sites such as Stable Way Industrial Estate, near Westbourne?
Yes. We cover Westbourne and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Stable Way Industrial Estate. To start, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Do you take on jobs in Westbourne where loading and access are tightly controlled?
Yes, we plan every London job around the building’s own access rules. Say when the building is occupied and when it’s quiet, and we will plan accordingly. We allow for the ULEZ, which covers every borough
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.

When it isn’t the sealant
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Why act early in Westbourne
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Failed sealant in a building in Westbourne can quickly affect neighbours, tenants or the floor below. Dealing with it early is simpler for everyone.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
