Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
After the work
To get the most from the new sealant:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westwell
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we’re called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and occupiers reporting cold air round windows. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Westwell from the first photographs to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Westwell tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Mastic around frames and on external joints wears out in time, whatever the building.
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.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Rural sites near Westwell may need directions, gate codes or a contact on site. Add it to your enquiry and we will build it into the plan.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Working within restricted access windows
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- What the building is and how it’s used
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.

When to call us in Westwell
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Failed external movement joints
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Historic properties like Godinton House (to the south of Westwell) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

For owners and agents in Westwell
Westwell is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and the sunniest, most exposed sides of a building normally need attention first. At about 46 miles from central London, Westwell is within reach of the capital. Around the capital’s commuter belt, managing agents look after many blocks close to stations and town centres.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Charing station (to the north-west of Westwell) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Property owners at sites such as Eurogate Business Park (2.3 miles south-east of Westwell) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
Westwell is about 4 miles north of Ashford, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Westwell use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Across Kent, 931 places are covered, Westwell among them. For work in that direction, see our London page (46 miles or so).

Questions about Westwell
Is Westwell too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. 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.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Charing station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
