Candy Mill: questions and answers
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Candy Mill?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Is Candy Mill too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What paperwork can you provide?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Other services in Candy Mill
Building owners, agents and FMs in Candy Mill
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Whether you are a managing agent, a property factor or an owner’s representative: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Why deal with it now?
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

From enquiry to sign-off
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 work around Candy Mill, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
