Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Around smaller places like Auchterderran, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Call for a quote.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Auchterderran
We diagnose before we prescribe: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. If you are dealing with old repairs sealed over failed mastic and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help. Whoever orders the work in Auchterderran, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

What else we do in Auchterderran
Aftercare for building managers
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

Common questions from Auchterderran clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Cardenden station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Auchterderran too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
