How we handle mastic sealing in Causewayhead
We diagnose before we prescribe: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Failed mastic is stripped, the faces taken back to sound material, primed where the manufacturer specifies and resealed, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Most enquiries involve damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Causewayhead, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Travel to smaller places like Causewayhead is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, in Causewayhead as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

When to call us in Causewayhead
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block
For agents with blocks near Stirling station, 1.2 miles to the south-west of Causewayhead, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and we clear our waste as we work. Jobs near Causewayhead are often grouped with others in the same area. 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 as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Let building users know which areas are affected

Advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.

Questions we’re asked in Causewayhead
Can you work at a site such as Springkerse Industrial Estate, by Causewayhead?
Yes, sites like Springkerse Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Causewayhead. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Is a smaller place like Causewayhead outside your area?
Not at all. Causewayhead is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
How do we ask for a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. Step one needs little more than photographs and a postcode.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
