How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself typically taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For a building near Westfield, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Quotes
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westfield
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and no planned programme for sealant, on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Westfield start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
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 typically fails first.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
When something else is needed
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Westfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Failed material removed, not covered up

Planned mastic for Westfield portfolios
The west of Scotland, where Westfield is, gets more rain than the east. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
For a school such as Greenfaulds High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For agents with blocks near Croy station, 1.3 miles to the north of Westfield, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.

Your questions answered
Can you work at a site such as Broadwood Business Park, by Westfield?
Yes. We cover Westfield and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Broadwood Business Park. To start, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Will you take on a block within reach of Croy station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
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.
When to call us in Westfield
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Communal area joints that look neglected
For owners of several units at places like Broadwood Business Park, which lies north of Westfield, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Questions to ask before you book
- The named product and why it was chosen
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
