What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

Mastic sealing in Ardchonnell
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains 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. Most enquiries involve complaints coming in block by block and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Ardchonnell first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Ardchonnell is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Common problems we fix in Ardchonnell
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, and low-level joints get damaged. Cleaning products add to the wear.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
If you’re responsible for a building such as Dalavich Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Why it’s worth doing now in Ardchonnell
