Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Auchnagatt?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Auchnagatt?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Are you insured?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
Common problems we fix in Auchnagatt
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Owners near Auchnagatt can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Proof of insurance
- The named product and why it was chosen

What affects the price in Auchnagatt
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Access and working height
- How much there is to seal
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Joint width, depth and condition
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
A good quote starts with a clear picture: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we’ll arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
From enquiry to sign-off
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Auchnagatt is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
