What the job involves on each surface
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Mastic sealing in Buchanhaven, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is water getting in round frames after rain and draughts at frames across a block. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Buchanhaven is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
Around Buchanhaven, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Buchanhaven
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. That three-sided adhesion stops it stretching and it tears.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Complaints coming in block by block
If you’re responsible for a building such as St Andrew's Church Of Scotland Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter

Frames, entrances and external joints in Buchanhaven
Buchanhaven sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather normally needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Being in the east of Scotland, Buchanhaven gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
For owners of several units at places like Blackhouse Industrial Estate, which lies south-west of Buchanhaven, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

FAQs: Buchanhaven
Do you cover business parks and estates near Buchanhaven, such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate?
Yes. Our area takes in Buchanhaven and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Blackhouse Industrial Estate included. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Our building in Buchanhaven is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What do you charge?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over with a description of the work.
Our process
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Buchanhaven is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
