Frames, entrances and external joints in Braco
Braco is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Braco, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together. Churches, halls and community buildings such as Braco U. F. Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Braco
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are failed external movement joints and leaks at window and door perimeters. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Braco, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
For buildings around Braco, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If you’re not sure, just speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Looking after the joints
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
General trades versus a specialist
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we’ll confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability, often around 2:1 width to depth, as the manufacturer advises.
What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Braco before they leak.

On site: what to expect
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For a building near Braco, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- 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.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
