Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are worn sealant at communal door frames and old repairs sealed over failed mastic.

Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Torbrex
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Property owners at sites such as Laurelhill Business Park (to the north-east of Torbrex) can have mastic renewed between lettings.
What your quote should include
- Proof of insurance
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think.

What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.

Why it’s worth doing now in Torbrex
