When to bring in a specialist
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Mastic sealing in Westergate
Mastic Doctor has sealed joints on commercial and residential blocks since 2005. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed external movement joints and worn sealant at communal door frames. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Westergate, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Westergate, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and the quote explains what it covers.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Westergate

For owners and operators of care buildings, window perimeters and external joints are best renewed in planned phases around residents. Central London is about 52 miles from Westergate. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property, and window and balcony mastic on them tends to age at the same rate.

Local landmarks in Westergate
In Westergate, that means premises near Ormiston Six Villages Academy, among other places. The closest station to Westergate is Barnham station, roughly 1.3 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Tote Copse Castle (1 mile west) and Bognor Regis War Memorial Hospital (3.1 miles south).
What happens if it’s left?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. A failed joint lets water into a building whatever its size. Catching it early means a reseal rather than repairs.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote.

What else we do in Westergate
FAQs: Westergate
Will you take on a block within reach of Barnham 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.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Westergate, such as The Woodhorn Business Centre?
Yes, sites like The Woodhorn Business Centre are within our area, along with the rest of Westergate. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you need mastic sealing in Westergate?
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Failed external movement joints
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Buildings close to stations like Barnham station, 1.3 miles to the east of Westergate, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
When it isn’t the sealant
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
