Facade sealing in Pitreavie
Installing framed glazing systems isn’t part of our work. We handle the sealant joints that surround those elements: perimeter joints where frames meet the structure, panel joints and window perimeters. If you’re dealing with staining on stone next to old sealant and hard, chalky sealant that no longer flexes, we can help, on stone and brick facade joints, shopfront frames and coping and flashing joints alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Pitreavie is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Construction around smaller Scottish places like Pitreavie is often one-off schemes: a school, a health centre, a hotel extension or a few houses. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Pitreavie outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Fife College?
Yes. We plan campus work around teaching, exams and residence turnarounds. Tell us which site documents you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate or CSCS details, and they’re confirmed with the quote.
Can you fit around our working hours?
We’re in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you run new sealant over the existing bead?
No. Overlaying is a shortcut that peels away quickly. Our method is a full cut-out, cleaning, backing and a new bead.
Do you guarantee your work?
Yes, for 12 months. If a joint fails because of how we installed it, we come back and put it right.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Are you insured?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
Looking after the joints
Regular inspection catches problems early. Specifically:
- Keep sills, gutters and drainage paths clear
- Add perimeter sealant to planned maintenance checks
- Check the asbestos register before old mastic is disturbed
- Keep pressure washers away from fresh sealant
Hold back any cleaning crew until the joints have had their stated cure time. Pressure washers and harsh cleaners can damage a fresh bead, so brief your window cleaners.
Tie resealing in with redecoration, cladding repairs or other access. One set-up for several trades saves money.
Contractors’ notes for Pitreavie
Pitreavie lies within about 2 miles of the sea. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, so we check the specified product suits the exposure before the first bead. Projects in Pitreavie follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. Our job is to seal to that specification.
Projects at colleges like Fife College (1.5 miles south of Pitreavie) tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly. On a healthcare site such as Lynebank Hospital, 2 miles north of Pitreavie, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.

Why act early in Pitreavie
Leaving failed perimeter sealant also makes the eventual job bigger: edges get wet, render and timber deteriorate and frames can move. Acting at the first sign of splitting keeps the fix simple. Around smaller places like Pitreavie, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Quoting for work in Pitreavie
Before we quote, we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- Phasing around occupants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Access and working height
Pricing facade joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or email us with what you know.
Should maintenance staff do it?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What we are called out for in Pitreavie
Overlaying old sealant is a common shortcut that fails quickly. Fresh silicone won’t stick to cured silicone.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Water coming in around window frames
- Perimeter joints where frames meet the structure
- Old perimeter mastic that has dried out
- Air leaks through failed facade joints
Projects at schools like Dunfermline High School work to term dates, so mastic is programmed tightly.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
