How we handle mastic sealing in Balemartine
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. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and draught complaints from residents or tenants, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Balemartine start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Balemartine is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Balemartine
With the shore within about 1 mile, Balemartine counts as a coastal location. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. Balemartine is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For a building around Balemartine, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait. Around Balemartine, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Balemartine is in Argyll and Bute. Any commercial site in Balemartine is covered, whether it’s a single job or part of a planned programme. Our Argyll and Bute coverage takes in 124 places.

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Why it’s worth doing now in Balemartine
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames, and they often blame the windows. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it when the frames themselves are sound. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Balemartine before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.

Balemartine: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our Balemartine portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Balemartine too far out for you?
Not at all. Balemartine is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly.

Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
