About our mastic sealing in Caputh
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Caputh carry our 12-month guarantee. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints coming in block by block and worn sealant at communal door frames. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Caputh it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like Caputh, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Where we can, we combine work around Caputh with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- 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.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Common problems we fix in Caputh
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Dunkeld & Birnam station, 3.6 miles west of Caputh, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
Comparing quotes
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- The named product and why it was chosen
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs: Caputh
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Caputh?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you quote for a block close to Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
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 will confirm with the quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
