About our mastic sealing in Westfield
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are movement joints with sealant missing and no planned programme for sealant. For commercial sealant work in Westfield, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Westfield, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
Work we carry out in Highland comes with a 12-month guarantee. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll come back to it.

What affects the price in Westfield
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we will put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

FAQs: Westfield
Will you price a mastic programme across our Westfield portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Westfield too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
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 checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Westfield is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Getting the site ready
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings

What sealant work can’t fix
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
For owners and agents in Westfield
The east of Scotland, where Westfield is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If you look after a block within reach of Thurso station, 4.1 miles north-east of Westfield, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Westfield, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Westfield is about 4 miles south-west of Thurso, in Highland. If you’re looking for mastic sealing in Westfield, we can help. We work across 256 places in Highland, large and small.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout KW14. If your building is just outside Westfield, we cover Janetstown (2 miles north-east), Glengolly (3 miles north-east), Forss (3 miles north), Thurso (4 miles north-east) and Scrabster (5 miles north-east). Island and remote sites need extra planning, with travel, ferry crossings where needed and weather to allow for, so mention the location when you give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Local landmarks in Westfield
Westfield’s nearest station is Thurso station, roughly 4.1 miles north-east. A little further out are Dunbar Hospital (3.5 miles north-east) and Scrabster Castle (4.3 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Loch Calder and Broubster Leans RSPB Reserve.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Owners, agents and contractors
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.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
