Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Share your contractor requirements early
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing and the job grows.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Cardrona Village
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and no planned programme for sealant, we can put it right, whatever the surface. For commercial sealant work in Cardrona Village, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Cardrona Village, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will arrange a return visit.

Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
Looking after buildings in and around Cardrona Village
The east of Scotland, where Cardrona Village is, gets less rain than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Programmes allow for that
Landlords with units on estates such as Cavalry Park Industrial Estate (2.6 miles west of Cardrona Village) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme. Churches, halls and community buildings such as William Cree Memorial Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Common questions from Cardrona Village clients
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Cardrona Village?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is a smaller place like Cardrona Village outside your area?
No. Places such as Cardrona Village are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Why act early in Cardrona Village
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Cardrona Village before they leak.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
What sealant work can’t fix
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
