Mastic sealing across Alyth
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What affects the price in Alyth
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Any access equipment needed
- The total length or number of joints
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What to include in your enquiry
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Any specification or named product
- The postcode of the building
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- What the building is and how it’s used
If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
About our mastic sealing in Alyth
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is window mastic that has split and shrunk and communal area joints that look neglected. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Alyth 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 Alyth, 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application.

Questions about Alyth
What site paperwork comes with a job in Alyth?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Alyth portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, but the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
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.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Where we work in Alyth
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
What we are called out for in Alyth
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Things that normally lead to an enquiry:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Older buildings near Alyth, from historic houses such as Balhary House (to the south-east of Alyth) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Who will actually carry out the work
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.

Blocks and managed buildings in Alyth
Being in the east of Scotland, Alyth gets less rain than the west coast. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
If you are responsible for a building such as Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
On site: what to expect
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Alyth, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- 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.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
