Common questions from Belmont clients
Can you work in a care home near Belmont with residents in?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we’ll work to them.
We manage a building near Ore station. Can you help?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What paperwork can you provide?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
About our mastic sealing in Belmont
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you’re dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Belmont is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For landlords and associations with stock in and around Belmont, grouping buildings into one visit saves travel. One quote can cover a whole list of addresses.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Places near Belmont
What else we do in Belmont
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Do you need mastic sealing in Belmont?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you’re responsible for a building such as Emmanuel Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What to look for in a quote
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- How joint depth will be controlled
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
Doing it in-house
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- The total length or number of joints
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How accessible the joints are
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 you will have a fixed figure to work with.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The postcode of the building
- When you need the work done
To get a fixed quote, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. You can also send details through our quote form.
What we can’t put right
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
Not sure which it is? You can call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a site in Belmont, we plan so the whole job is done in one go where possible. Clear photographs and measurements help us bring the right products.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- 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.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
Getting a fixed quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Advice
For owners and agents in Belmont
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Belmont. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Belmont has nine care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Care home owners need frame and external mastic kept sound without unsettling residents.
If your remit includes a building such as Ark Castledown Primary Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you look after a block within reach of Ore station, which lies north of Belmont, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.
