Maintenance after handover
After handover, a little attention goes a long way:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The site address and postcode
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Any specification or named product
The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Upload them with the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
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.

Advice
Questions about Achnacroish
Does the sea air around Achnacroish change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Achnacroish?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
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.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
