How we handle mastic sealing in St David's
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve open joints in brickwork or panels and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, across window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints. Searching for sealant specialists in St David's? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Around smaller places such as St David's, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. Around smaller places like St David's, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.

What we can’t put right
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Communal areas
Joints at low level in communal areas take knocks from bins, bikes and buggies, so they often need renewing sooner.
Questions about St David's
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near St David's?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Which documents can you supply for work in St David's?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
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 suspect material is tested first.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
When to call us in St David's
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and splits as the building moves.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
For owners and agents with buildings in or around St David's, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Their public liability cover
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
