About mastic sealing in Angus

Across Angus, we work the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on external wall and movement joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out.

Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed before the next one starts.

  1. First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

How we quote

The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Why appoint us

  • Constructionline member for supplier checks
  • Matching to RAL references, product permitting
  • Colour options checked against the specified product
  • CSCS-carded applicators

Getting a fixed quote

Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Near you in Arbroath

In Arbroath, that means premises near Arbroath High School, Knox's Church and The Corn Exchange pub, among other places. There’s a railway station in Arbroath itself: Arbroath station. Nearby you will also find Arbroath Signal Tower Museum (0.6 miles south) and Arbroath Infirmary (0.6 miles south).

Blocks and managed buildings across Angus

For owners with several buildings in Angus, grouping mastic work into one programme saves time. Residents are given notice through you, and work moves building to building.

Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Angus among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Along the coast in Angus, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.

Arbroath: Trustees of buildings like Knox's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Site managers at schools like Arbroath High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

Signs you need mastic sealing

UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.

Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:

  • Draught complaints from residents or tenants
  • Worn sealant at communal door frames
  • Water getting in round frames after rain
  • Failed external movement joints

Honest limits

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
  • Leaks from above rather than through a joint
  • Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove

Doing it in-house

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.

There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

What happens if it’s left?

Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound.

Comparing quotes

  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
  • How they’ll work around occupants
  • How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
  • Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?

What affects the price in Angus

A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:

  • The total length or number of joints
  • Location, for remote and island sites
  • Joint width, depth and condition
  • Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.

What to include in your enquiry

Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:

  • Whether an asbestos survey exists
  • Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
  • Clear photographs of the problem areas
  • Anything awkward about access or site hours

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Common questions from Angus clients

What’s the quickest route to a quote?

The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.

Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?

Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order starting wherever is most urgent.

How soon can the area be used again?

Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.

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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.

Do you take on small jobs?

Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Photos and a description are enough to start.
