Questions we are asked in West Tofts
Will you price a mastic programme across our West Tofts portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in West Tofts?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.

Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Glazing that needs replacing
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like West Tofts, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
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 and we will explain how it’s made up.

Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
