Mastic sealing for Westcott sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Mastic sealing in Westcott
Across Westcott and the rest of Surrey, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. If you’re dealing with failed external movement joints and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Westcott is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places like Westcott, older walls fitted with newer windows are a familiar sight. The mastic needs to suit an irregular masonry face and the look of the building.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Westcott
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and elevations facing the sun and the prevailing weather are normally where frame mastic ages first. Westcott has four care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
With historic buildings such as Polesden Lacey, 2.2 miles north of Westcott, in the wider area, owners of older properties around Westcott should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. Schools and community buildings such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.

Westcott: questions and answers
Is Westcott too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Westcott is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for a block close to Dorking West station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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 will confirm with the quote.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What happens if it’s left?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Halls, stores and units around places like Westcott may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why us?
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Colour agreed before work starts

Common problems we fix in Westcott
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
If you look after a block within reach of Dorking West station, which lies north-east of Westcott, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
Questions to ask before you book
