How we handle mastic sealing in Bridge of Orchy
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. The enquiries we see most involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, on balcony and threshold joints, communal entrances and stairwells and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Bridge of Orchy is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Travel to smaller places like Bridge of Orchy is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

What the job involves on each surface
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.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.

Honest limits
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Where we can, we combine work around Bridge of Orchy with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- 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.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photographs and a description will do.

FAQs: Bridge of Orchy
Is Bridge of Orchy too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Bridge of Orchy are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Bridge of Orchy station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
