Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Westwood
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. If you have repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Westwood tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Rural conversions near places like Westwood often set modern frames into older stone, flint or brick. Perimeter mastic there has to grip an uneven face and suit the building’s character.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Kent. Should something we installed fail, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will come back to it.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Keeping the joints sound
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Owners, agents and contractors
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Do you need mastic sealing in Westwood?
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
For owners of several units at places like Barham Business Park, which lies south-east of Westwood, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

For owners and agents in Westwood
Westwood is in the South East, one of the UK’s drier regions. 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. Westwood lies roughly 56 miles out from central London. Managed blocks of flats are a big part of commuter-belt property.
Older buildings near Westwood, from historic houses such as Acrise Place, 4.9 miles to the south of Westwood, to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed. Buildings close to stations like Bekesbourne station (4.1 miles north of Westwood) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Westwood is about 5 miles south of Canterbury, in Kent. Businesses, contractors and managing agents in Westwood use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Kent. Westwood is one of 931 places in Kent on our list for mastic joints. London is covered too, around 56 miles from Westwood.

Westwood: questions and answers
Is Westwood off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. London and every South East county are within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
We manage a building near Bekesbourne station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
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.
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.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How a job runs
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Jobs in and around smaller places like Westwood are usually planned as a single visit, so photographs and measurements up front really help. That way the right products come on the day.

- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
