Common problems we fix in Old Blair
When sealant lets go of a frame or panel, the cause is often the preparation. Dust, old sealant residue, damp or a missing primer stop it bonding properly.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- New sealant peeling off old mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Staining on stone next to old sealant
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
For contractors building in or near Old Blair, we seal to the drawings, the specification and the programme.

How we handle facade sealing in Old Blair
Weather decides a lot in facade sealing. Joints have to be dry and the air and surface temperature within the product’s range, so frosty or damp mornings can hold work back. We build that into the programme and tell you if the forecast changes the plan. We work on coping and flashing joints, shopfront frames and perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cladding panel joints that have opened up and cold air coming in at window perimeters. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Old Blair? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
For a site around Old Blair, we plan the mastic in as few trips as the programme allows. Send drawings, photos and the programme so everything needed arrives on the first day.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Occupied buildings need a little choreography. The work area is signed and kept contained, with routes through the building left open and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Blair is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Photos, drawings or a visit tell us about the joints and the access.
- We confirm the joint type, movement and the specified product.
- The existing bead comes out in full and the joint faces cleaned.
- Primer is applied where the maker specifies it.
- Backing rod is fitted and the new sealant gunned in and tooled.
- We go over the completed work with you before leaving.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need

FAQs: Old Blair
Can you keep pace with our programme in Old Blair?
Yes, we work to the programme and the sequence the site sets. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Old Blair?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months on every job.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
It depends on the product specified. Some ranges are wide, others limited, so the available colours are confirmed with the quote.
Do you take on small jobs?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you cover Old Blair?
Yes. We cover Old Blair, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. To discuss a job, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Don’t wait for a second leak before calling
- Inspect facade joints on a regular cycle
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Brief window cleaners about newly sealed joints
Blocked sills and gutters push water at the joints. Sealant copes better when water runs off the facade as designed instead of soaking the joints.
Deal with sections that fail early as soon as they show. A few metres resealed promptly can stop water damage spreading behind the facade.
Why deal with it now?
Failed joints let in more than water: draughts around frames add to heating costs and complaints. Resealing deals with the draught as well as the leak. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. It won’t fix:
- Joints whose design needs changing by the specifier
- Specialist high-level access methods
- Damp caused by condensation inside the building
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Cladding panel joints
- Coping and flashing joints
- Window and door perimeters
- Stone and brick facade joints
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Shopfront frames
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Facade sealing around Old Blair: what changes locally
There are a number of hotels within about 2 miles of Old Blair. When hotels extend or refit, the work is typically squeezed between peak periods, mastic included. Old Blair is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold, damp starts still stop external sealing on some days. External mastic is planned with the site manager for workable conditions.
Hotel extensions and refits, at places such as Atholl Arms Hotel, 0.5 miles south-east of Old Blair, normally run between busy periods, so the sealing is squeezed into short windows.
