How we handle mastic sealing in Ardbrecknish
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you are dealing with draughts at frames across a block and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can help, whatever the surface. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardbrecknish first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Ardbrecknish is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to bring in a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We normally work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, these steps help:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share your contractor requirements early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
What happens if it’s left?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Ardbrecknish before they leak.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What we can’t put right

Common questions from Ardbrecknish clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Falls of Cruachan station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ardbrecknish portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
How long will the new sealant last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
