How we handle mastic sealing in Allandale
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and a mix of products and colours from past repairs. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Allandale tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Allandale, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Allandale, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

When to call us in Allandale
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Haggs Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Share your contractor requirements early
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. For work around Allandale, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
