How we handle mastic sealing in Blairmore
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. 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’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you’re dealing with occupiers reporting cold air round windows and no planned programme for sealant, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Blairmore, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
In smaller Scottish places like Blairmore, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Blairmore clients
Does the sea air around Blairmore change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is a smaller place like Blairmore outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What do you charge?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote.
Will you quote for a small job?
Whatever the size, the process is the same: details, then a fixed price, then sealing, then a 12-month guarantee.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, 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.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Common problems we fix in Blairmore
In communal areas, joints take knocks from bins, bikes, buggies and deliveries, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
If you’re responsible for a building such as Strone Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.
Blocks and managed buildings in Blairmore
Blairmore is within about 1 mile of the coast. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints; plan inspections around that. Blairmore is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Gourock station (to the south-east of Blairmore) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
