Aftercare for building managers
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share your contractor requirements early
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.

How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.

Building owners and managing agents use us on everything from one building to a spread of sites. One quote can cover more than one site, which keeps the paperwork simple.
