Mastic sealing in An Druim Beag
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks.

Questions we are asked in An Druim Beag
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near An Druim Beag?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is An Druim Beag too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Which sealant will you use?
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we’re in, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Jobs near An Druim Beag are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
What affects the price in An Druim Beag
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- The product specified
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Details that help us quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
