Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep finished joints away from paint, plaster and scrapers
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Keep product details for future maintenance
After we’ve sealed an area, it helps to keep other trades from damaging the joints. Fresh sealant needs its cure time before it’s cleaned, painted near or knocked.
A missed perimeter seal on one window can wet the reveal and the plaster inside. That usually means redoing finishes in a completed area. Checking perimeters before internal finishes go on avoids it.

How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. Snags are cleared room by room and damaged joints are redone rather than patched.
External facade and movement joints
Many facade substrates need a primer before sealing. Primer goes on where the sealant maker calls for it.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Laide with other jobs nearby. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- We start with the drawings, specification and programme.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out any areas we must not close

What sets the cost
These are the things that shape the price:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Working within restricted access windows
- Removal of failed or old sealant
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Any specification or named product
- Any dates the work must fit around
- What the building is and how it’s used
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Common questions from Laide clients
Is Laide too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Laide is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Does a coastal location like Laide affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you take on small jobs?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
What guarantee comes with a mastic package?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee from sign-off. Damage by others after we have finished isn’t covered.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
Why deal with it now?
Clearing snags piecemeal is tempting when handover is close. But one planned snagging pass through each area usually clears more for less disruption. We can run snagging as its own phase before handover. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Laide, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
A quote for mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
