Mastic sealing in Ballinluig
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. Site teams most often ask us about damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, across communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whoever orders the work in Ballinluig, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Travel to smaller places like Ballinluig is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Common questions from Ballinluig clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Pitlochry station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Ballinluig portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How many days will you need on site?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
Blocks and managed buildings in Ballinluig
Ballinluig is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Pitlochry station, 4 miles north-west of Ballinluig, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Our process
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Where we can, we combine work around Ballinluig with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Agree which areas must stay open

Commercial clients in Ballinluig
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Ballinluig can form part of a wider programme across Perth and Kinross.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work in Ballinluig
- External wall and movement joints

- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
When to call us in Ballinluig
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Older community buildings, Logierait Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What your quote should include
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
