How we handle mastic sealing in Aird
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. The enquiries we see most involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints. For commercial sealant work in Aird, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Aird, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

FAQs: Aird
Does a coastal location like Aird affect which sealant is used?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Aird portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee, backed by public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Do you cover Aird?
Yes. Aird falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to phone 01277 525 020 or email us.
How long does a job like this take?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
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.

What we’re called out for in Aird
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- No planned programme for sealant
Owners near Aird can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
General trades versus a specialist
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.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed before we move to the next. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Aird is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

- Working within restricted access windows

Frames, entrances and external joints in Aird
Aird is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Island jobs, Aird among them, are planned around the ferry and the forecast. Photos of each elevation and a list of buildings let us plan the whole programme.
Schools and community buildings such as Aird Primary School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.

Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Aird before they leak.
Pricing mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
