Common problems we fix in Allanton
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
Landlords with units on estates such as Glenburn Industrial Estate (to the north-east of Allanton) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

Advice
Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Mastic sealing in Allanton: the local picture
Allanton is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For agents with blocks near Hartwood station, which lies north of Allanton, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Older community buildings, Bonkle Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Local landmarks in Allanton

Should maintenance staff do it?
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 where general trades tend to cut corners.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Commercial clients in Allanton
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Common questions from Allanton clients
Is Allanton too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near Hartwood station. Can you help?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
We can. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
