Mastic sealing in Barns of Claverhouse, done properly
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and leaks at window and door perimeters, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whoever orders the work in Barns of Claverhouse, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be one of these:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Why deal with it now?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Barns of Claverhouse, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What affects the price in Barns of Claverhouse
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Location, for remote and island sites

Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
