Why deal with it now?
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Ardler, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Ardler
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Work carried out by CSCS-carded applicators
When to call us in Ardler
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Ardler Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Ardler: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ardler portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Ardler too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Ardler are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
How the job changes by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Removal of failed or old sealant

- Quantities, in metres or numbers

We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
