What affects the price in Ochiltree
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Any access equipment needed
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 will have a fixed figure to work with.
Details that help us quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- The postcode of the building
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.
About our facade sealing in Ochiltree
We don’t install glazing systems or replace glass. What we seal are the joints around them: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters with products suited to facade or glazing perimeter joints. We work on shopfront frames, cladding panel joints and coping and flashing joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes and previous reseals run over old sealant. For commercial sealant work in Ochiltree, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For a site around Ochiltree, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Clear drawings, a programme and photos let us bring the right sealants, primers and backing rod first time.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

FAQs: Ochiltree
Will you fit the mastic around our build programme in Ochiltree?
Yes. Send the programme and drawings, and we’ll plan the mastic to suit the stages. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on work at healthcare sites like Ballochmyle Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. Each area is agreed with the ward or department and the estates team in advance.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Can you look at water coming in around a frame?
Yes. Photos are often enough to start, followed by a visit if needed. Failed perimeter sealant is a common cause, but not the only one, and we will tell you which.
Is it okay to overlay old mastic?
No. A bead run over old sealant soon lifts. We remove the failed sealant, clean the faces, set the depth and reseal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Is old mastic on our building likely to contain asbestos?
For older buildings, yes, check before work starts. The duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder, so ask for it before we start. Suspect material is left alone until it has been tested.
From enquiry to sign-off
Site rules come first: sign-in, induction and whatever permit system the building uses. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Ochiltree, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- Access, site rules and timing are settled with the client up front.
- We only seal when joints are dry and within the product’s temperature range.
- Each joint is cut out and the edges inspected.
- Joints are cleaned, primed if required and fitted with backing rod.
- Sealant is gunned in and tooled hard onto both faces.
- We hand over with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Have the specification and drawings to hand

Honest limits
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Work on the window or framing system itself
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Coping and flashing joints
- Cladding panel joints
- Shopfront frames
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
- Keep the sealant details on the building file
- Ask about asbestos in pre-2000 mastic
- Combine resealing with other works that need access
Following storms, look inside for damp or staining near frames. Catching a new leak early keeps the repair small.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money and limits disruption.
Mastic packages on Ochiltree sites
Scotland has its own building regulations, and in Ochiltree warrants come from the local authority verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification. Ochiltree is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. External mastic dates are agreed with the site manager, with internal sealant kept ready for wet days.
With historic properties like Dumfries House, 2.2 miles east of Ochiltree, in the area, refurbishment work often meets old masonry that needs compatible sealants. Work at a hotel such as Head Inn Hotel, under half a mile east of Ochiltree, tends to be programmed around bookings, mastic included. On a healthcare site such as Ballochmyle Hospital, 3.4 miles to the north of Ochiltree, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
