Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westwell Leacon
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you are dealing with leaks at window and door perimeters and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Westwell Leacon tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around smaller places like Westwell Leacon, we group work so one trip covers it. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we spell out the cover before we begin.

Leave it or put it right?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. One visit to deal with every failing joint makes more sense than several trips to a place like Westwell Leacon, rather than one at a time. Send photographs of each area and we’ll quote for the lot.
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Mastic sealing in Westwell Leacon: the local picture
The South East is one of the drier parts of the UK. Outside work still depends on dry joints, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first. Westwell Leacon lies roughly 44 miles out from central London. 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.
Site managers at schools like The Hayesbrook School can fit frame mastic into the summer works. Older buildings near Westwell Leacon, from historic houses such as Godinton House (to the south-east of Westwell Leacon) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Westwell Leacon is about 5 miles north-west of Ashford, in Kent. Any commercial site in Westwell Leacon is covered, for single jobs and planned programmes alike. We work across 931 places in Kent, from busy centres to rural villages. For work in that direction, see our London page.

What we are called out for in Westwell Leacon
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- No planned programme for sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Charing station (to the north-west of Westwell Leacon) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What your quote should include
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- How the existing material will be dealt with
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Pass these on to them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
Westwell Leacon: questions and answers
Is Westwell Leacon too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers London and the South East counties. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Westwell Leacon?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
