Looking after the joints
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
About our mastic sealing in Cawdor
For blocks and buildings in Cawdor and across Highland, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Site teams most often ask us about damp patches beside frames and failed external movement joints, on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and balcony and threshold joints. Most enquiries from Cawdor start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Cawdor, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Common problems we fix in Cawdor
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Cawdor, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. While we are working, the area stays contained and tidy, and we check in with your contact before moving on to each new area. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Cawdor is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Let building users know which areas are affected

The east of Scotland, where Cawdor 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

Should maintenance staff do it?
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. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. You get one fixed quote per building or for the whole estate.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
What sets the cost
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Working within restricted access windows
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Before you send an enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. These details are enough to start:
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and a fixed quote will follow. To get it moving, call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Common questions from Cawdor clients
Is Cawdor off your patch?
No. Places such as Cawdor are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Cawdor portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How long do sealant joints last?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
