Mastic sealing in Abington
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and damp patches beside frames, we can help. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Abington first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Abington, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: twelve months on the work we carried out. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

What the job involves on each surface
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Why deal with it now?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. After water has got in, there may be damp, damaged plaster or decoration to put right too, and the complaints come with it. 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.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Your questions answered
Which documents can you supply for work in Abington?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Abington too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
What will the job cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with a description of the work.
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What affects the price in Abington
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Access and working height
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The total length or number of joints
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height

On site: what to expect
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Abington with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
