Mastic sealing in Westwood
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you’re dealing with brittle perimeter mastic across a building and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can help, whatever the surface. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Westwood it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Converted and older buildings in and around Westwood often put modern windows into old walls. The mastic there needs to suit both surfaces.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Westwood
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Failed external movement joints
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
With historic buildings such as Quex Park (2.9 miles west of Westwood) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Westwood should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

For owners and agents in Westwood
With the shore within about 2 miles, Westwood counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Westwood lies roughly 65 miles out from central London. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Parish Church of St John the Baptist are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners of several units at places like Westwood Industrial Estate, which lies east of Westwood, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Why act early in Westwood
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Over time, UV, weather and movement wear any sealant out. Replacing it before it fails keeps water out.
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Doing it in-house
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Your questions answered
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Margate 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.
Is Westwood too far out for you?
Not at all. Westwood is within our area. We work across Greater London and the South East. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
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.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
