Common questions from Fankerton clients
Is Fankerton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you keep pace with our programme in Fankerton?
Yes. The mastic is planned around your key stages. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Multi-site work and planned programmes are a core part of the service, with each site phased to suit its occupants.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work usually takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
It’s backed by our 12-month guarantee. Keeping other trades off finished joints prevents most problems.
How do I request a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Facades, frames and programmes in Fankerton
Projects in Fankerton follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant. Being in the east of Scotland, Fankerton gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
For a contractor working at a hospital such as Forth Valley Royal Hospital, 3.7 miles east of Fankerton, perimeter and facade sealing is planned around patients and deliveries. For contractors at a school such as Denny High School, sealing has to be finished before term starts.

What’s near Fankerton

Why deal with it now?
Patching snags as they appear can feel quicker than a proper close-out. But one planned snagging pass through each area normally clears more for less disruption. Snagging can be priced as a separate stage. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Fankerton, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For work around Fankerton, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We walk the site or review drawings to understand the package.
- You receive a fixed quote covering scope, products and sequence.
- Paperwork is agreed and applicators are inducted on site.
- We seal plot by plot or floor by floor in line with the programme.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Glazing units that are cracked or misted
- Oversized gaps that need packing or adjustment by others
- Approving fire stopping as compliant
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Brick and block movement joints
- Cladding and panel joints
For managing agents and facilities managers
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. We use the specified perimeter sealant, typically a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone.
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
Across a block of flats or a hotel, sanitary sealing is repeated in every room. A single team keeps the standard consistent, plot by plot or floor by floor.
Quoting for work in Fankerton
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- Access and working height
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
