Why act early in Boat of Garten
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Boat of Garten, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Boat of Garten
- Products installed to the manufacturer’s instructions
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- 12-month guarantee on workmanship
How we handle mastic sealing in Boat of Garten
Treatment starts with a proper look: 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. If you have communal area joints that look neglected and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Boat of Garten is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Boat of Garten, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.
