Our mastic sealing service in Stirling
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are complaints coming in block by block and communal area joints that look neglected.
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.

Mastic sealing across Stirling: the area picture
Stirling has managed buildings of every age, from older blocks to new developments. Mastic of different ages and quality often sits side by side, so we look at the whole elevation before quoting.
Our work reaches every part of Scotland, cities and islands alike, Stirling among them. Travel is planned so the work is finished in as few trips as we can. Along the coast in Stirling, hospitality buildings tend to be busiest in the summer months, which makes the quieter months a good time for sealant work.
Stirling: For owners of several units at places like Phoenix Industrial Estate (under half a mile east of Stirling), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. If you manage student housing near a university such as University of Stirling, 2.2 miles north of Stirling, the summer turnaround is the time for mastic.
What affects the price in Stirling
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
- Phasing around occupants
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
A few photos plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Why it fails
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Complaints coming in block by block
Why deal with it now?
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right.
What your quote should include
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- How joint depth will be controlled
Work for main contractors and building owners
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
Common questions from Stirling clients
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photos and a postcode.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us with a description of the work.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
