Why act early in Westfield

Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Halls, stores and units around places like Westfield may not be checked every day, so a failed joint can leak for a while before anyone sees it. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.

Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Why clients in Westfield choose us

  • Fully insured, including public liability cover
  • A range of standard colours, depending on the product
  • Specification-led, product-correct work
  • Our applicators hold CSCS cards

About our mastic sealing in Westfield

Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Westfield, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

Rural conversions near places like Westfield often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.

Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

What we’re called out for in Westfield

Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

Common reasons buildings call us in:

  • No planned programme for sealant
  • A mix of products and colours from past repairs
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • Water getting in round frames after rain

For owners of several units at places like Wheel Farm Business Park, which lies west of Westfield, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Before you book anyone

  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • Their pre-qualification and accreditations
  • Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
  • Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Questions to ask before you appoint anyone

For managing agents and facilities managers

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.

Blocks and managed buildings in Westfield

The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, while the elevations that take the most sun tend to show hardened mastic first. At about 50 miles from central London, Westfield is within reach of the capital. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property; their frame mastic often ages block-wide.

Older community buildings, The Parish Church of St John the Baptist among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Historic properties like Durhamford Manor, 3.3 miles to the north-west of Westfield, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Westfield is about 3 miles north of Hastings, in East Sussex. Commercial clients in Westfield can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of East Sussex. Our East Sussex coverage takes in 308 places, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our Brighton page, about 31 miles away.

Questions about Westfield

Is Westfield off your patch?

No. Places such as Westfield are covered as much as the big towns. We cover Greater London and the counties of the South East. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.

We manage a building near Doleham station. Can you help?

Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

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.

Can you seal joints high up on a block?

Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.

After the work

Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:

  • Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
  • List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
  • Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
  • Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first

If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.

Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself normally taking anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For a building around Westfield, tell us how to find it and who will meet us. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
  5. New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
  6. Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Make sure the joints can be reached
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Share the asbestos register for older buildings
