How a job runs
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Balado is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We plan access and the order of elevations with the client.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- We remove the old bead and check the edges are sound.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Facade-grade sealant goes in and is tooled to a tidy concave profile.
- Once signed off, the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Agree which areas must stay open

How we handle facade sealing in Balado
Our facade sealing work covers external facade joints, window and door perimeters, cladding panel joints and the perimeter joints where frames meet the structure for clients around Balado. Coping and flashing joints are included where sealant is the specified fix. If you have new sealant peeling off old mastic and damp patches beside frames after rain, we can help. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Balado, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
External sealing around Balado depends on dry faces and the right temperature. A little flexibility in the programme lets external joints go in on suitable days.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Balado has several hotels close by, all within 2 miles. Hotel schemes tend to have fixed reopening dates, so the mastic is programmed tightly with the other trades.

Balado: questions and answers
What site paperwork comes with a job in Balado?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is a smaller place like Balado outside your area?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, which helps with supplier vetting.
How much does the work cost?
There isn’t a price list, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
Will you check whether the sealant is causing the leak?
Yes. We check the sealant joints and report what we find as part of pricing. Where the cause seems to be elsewhere, we’d rather tell you than reseal pointlessly.
What affects the price in Balado
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
- Joint width, depth and condition
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Let us know:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need facade sealing in Balado
Most facade joints fail through age and weathering. The bead hardens, chalks on the surface and loses the flexibility to follow the joint, and cracks or adhesion loss follow.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Facade joints cracked through the middle
- Patch repairs that keep failing
- Unsightly perimeter sealant on a visible elevation
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as The Green Hotel, 1.4 miles east of Balado, typically run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
Before you book anyone
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why it’s worth doing now in Balado
Open facade joints also let air and dirt through: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Balado, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
