Mastic sealing in An t-Aodann Ban
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in along with complaints. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is draughts at frames across a block and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in An t-Aodann Ban it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Planned mastic for An t-Aodann Ban portfolios
With the shore within about 2 miles, An t-Aodann Ban counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. The west of Scotland, where An t-Aodann Ban is, gets more rain than the east. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Programmes allow for wet days.
Near An t-Aodann Ban, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Working within restricted access windows
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We will quote against your scope and drawings that you can work with. For a chat about it beforehand, call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
What sealant work can’t fix
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions from An t-Aodann Ban clients
Is a smaller place like An t-Aodann Ban outside your area?
No. Places such as An t-Aodann Ban are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Our building in An t-Aodann Ban is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
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 long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us. Include photos or drawings if you have them.
For managing agents and facilities managers
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.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
Signs you need mastic sealing in An t-Aodann Ban
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 and fails early.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Around An t-Aodann Ban, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- Proof of insurance
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
