Mastic sealing in Balado
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. The enquiries we see most involve patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and draughts at frames across a block, across window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Balado is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Balado, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.

Balado: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Balado?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Is a smaller place like Balado outside your area?
Not at all. Balado is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, as many construction sites ask for.
What do you charge?
There isn’t a price list, because every site is different. Send photographs or drawings and we’ll price it at a fixed figure.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Balado
Balado is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Block programmes are built with that in mind

Maintenance after handover
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent and easier to manage.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Balado
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Damp patches beside frames
- No planned programme for sealant
Site managers at schools like Kinross High School can fit frame mastic into the summer works.

What else we do in Balado
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
