Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Barnyards. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- A range of standard colours, depending on the product

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much there is to seal
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Access and working height
- Distance, for remote addresses
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: 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.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- Any dates the work must fit around
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
The quickest route to a quote is a few photographs and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
Questions we are asked in Barnyards
Can you work at a site such as Bass Rock Business Park, by Barnyards?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Barnyards, Bass Rock Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Barnyards off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Where we can, we combine work around Barnyards with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
Request a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Advice
Block-wide mastic in Barnyards
Barnyards sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. For owners and agents with buildings near the sea, exposed elevations are where frame mastic fails first, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Barnyards is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
Property owners at sites such as Bass Rock Business Park (2.4 miles east of Barnyards) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Barnyards
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Older buildings near Barnyards, from historic houses such as Gibliston House (1.8 miles north of Barnyards) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

What else we do in Barnyards
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
