Should maintenance staff do it?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
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.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Woollensbrook
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
For a school such as Westfield Community Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- How the existing material will be dealt with
What happens if it’s left?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Halls, stores and units around places like Woollensbrook may not be checked every day, which gives a failed joint time to do damage. Renewing joints in good time avoids the problem.
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
