How we handle mastic sealing in Crawford
Managing agents and housing associations normally need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you have complaints coming in block by block and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right. Whoever orders the work in Crawford, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around Crawford, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work and less choice about when. Around smaller places like Crawford, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Why appoint us

Maintenance after handover
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
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.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before the next one starts. Jobs near Crawford are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
- Point out any areas we must not close

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
