Mastic sealing across Westwood
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
About our mastic sealing in Westwood
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. If you are dealing with occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Westwood first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Owners and agents with buildings around smaller places such as Westwood tend to manage small terraces of association properties, converted barns and commercial units. Frame and wall-joint mastic on all of them ages and hardens.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. Work is planned in sections.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Owners, agents and contractors
Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites around Westwood. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Common questions from Westwood clients
We manage a building near Longfield station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Westwood, such as Fawkham Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Westwood, Fawkham Business Park among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. Each building is inspected, quoted and scheduled in turn, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Block-wide mastic in Westwood
At about 18 miles from central London, Westwood is within reach of the capital. Within reach of London, blocks run by agents and associations are common around stations. Rainfall across the South East, Westwood included, is lower than in many parts of the UK. Even so, frame mastic only goes on in dry, workable conditions, and south- and west-facing elevations, which take the most sun and rain, often age first.
If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Greenwich (2.4 miles north-west of Westwood), the summer turnaround is the time for mastic. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Longfield station, 1 mile to the south of Westwood, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Westwood is about 3 miles south of Swanscombe, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Westwood can call on us for mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Kent.

When to call us in Westwood
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Complaints coming in block by block
Site managers at schools like Bean Primary School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.
