Why Quality Assurance is Essential

The success of any mastic application hinges on precision and adherence to best practices. At Ambisite, our comprehensive QA process ensures that each application is done with strict attention to detail, providing long-lasting, durable results.

Key Elements of Quality Assurance:

1. Building Regulation Compliance

All mastic sealant applications are carried out in line with UK Building Regulations to ensure health, safety, and performance standards are met. For example, compliance with Part L of the Building Regulations, which governs the airtightness of buildings, is essential when applying mastic to ensure energy efficiency. Proper sealing in line with these regulations helps reduce air leakage and improve thermal performance.

2. BS 6213 and NHBC Standards

Our work complies with BS 6213 and NHBC Standards, which provide guidance on joint sealant selection and application, ensuring that our seals accommodate building movements and are resistant to external conditions. Adhering to these standards ensures that our mastic applications maintain structural integrity, reduce moisture ingress, and prevent premature failure.

3. Detailed Inspections and Surface Preparation

Before applying mastic, we perform meticulous inspections to confirm that surfaces are prepared correctly. Proper cleaning and priming are vital to ensure adhesion and durability, particularly when dealing with porous surfaces like concrete or high-risk areas such as expansion joints.

4. On-Site Testing and Audits

To maintain our high standards, we conduct regular audits and tests during the project. This ensures that the mastic sealant is applied at the correct width and depth, allowing for movement without cracking, and that the material complies with fire safety standards in accordance with Building Regulation Part B.

Progress Reporting: Keeping You Informed

Alongside our rigorous QA practices, Ambisite offers regular and transparent progress reporting, giving clients clear insight into their project’s status.

Key Components of Progress Reporting:

1. Weekly Reports

We issue comprehensive weekly progress reports, which include details on completed work, any delays, and upcoming tasks. These reports ensure that stakeholders can stay on top of project timelines and adjust plans if necessary.

2. Compliance with Air Tightness Requirements

For projects subject to Part L regulations, we also provide reports on air permeability tests, crucial for ensuring compliance with energy efficiency targets. Our mastic applications help seal buildings to meet these tightness requirements, reducing heating and cooling costs in the long term.

3. Photo Documentation and Key Metrics

Our progress reports include photographs of completed sections and highlight metrics such as material usage and compliance with fire safety and waterproofing standards, ensuring full transparency and accountability.

Ensuring Compliance with Building Regulations

Building Regulations, such as Part L (concerning energy efficiency and airtightness) and Part B (related to fire safety), play a critical role in the design and installation of mastic applications. At Ambisite, we ensure that every application is compliant, whether sealing windows, doors, or expansion joints. Compliance with these regulations not only guarantees safety but also avoids costly remedial work.
