Castlehill: questions and answers
Can being near the sea in Castlehill affect the sealant we need?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Is Castlehill too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so it can be arranged.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How many days will you need on site?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we’ll give you a timescale with the quote.
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 the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative, plus a 12-month guarantee.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
Our process
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Castlehill. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Common problems we fix in Castlehill
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
For agents with blocks near Dalreoch station (0.7 miles east of Castlehill), a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
Questions to ask before you book
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Proof of insurance
When it isn’t the sealant
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

What to include in your enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:

Frames, entrances and external joints in Castlehill
With the shore within about 1 mile, Castlehill counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Castlehill gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
If your remit includes a building such as Our Lady & St Patrick's High School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. If you’re responsible for a building such as Dalreoch Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
