About our mastic sealing in Bannockburn
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you are dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and leaks at window and door perimeters, we can put it right. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Bannockburn it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Bannockburn, 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.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
After the work
After handover, these steps help:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
One failed perimeter usually means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix when the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well.

What else we do in Bannockburn
What we’re called out for in Bannockburn
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:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Water getting in round frames after rain
Student blocks close to universities like University of Stirling, 3.9 miles to the north of Bannockburn, are easiest to work on between tenancies.
