Role overview

Mastic asphalting is a specialist waterproofing and flooring trade used in roofing, flooring, tanking, and bridge decks. Apprentices learn to heat and lay mastic asphalt - a mixture of limestone and bitumen - to create durable, watertight surfaces. Qualified mastic asphalters work in construction and infrastructure, and can progress to supervisory or estimating roles.
