Mastic sealing for Clovenstone sites
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
We schedule the visit to fit the site hours and access windows you give us. On the day, the work area is kept contained and tidy, and your contact hears from us before we move to the next area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry 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
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

About our mastic sealing in Clovenstone
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Clovenstone first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
In Scotland’s cities, housing associations look after blocks and estates of every age. A planned programme deals with failed mastic across an estate, block by block.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Location, for remote and island sites
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Send us:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- What the building is and how it’s used
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint typically costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Why act early in Clovenstone
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Getting access arranged for a building in Clovenstone takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?

Can you seal joints high up on a block?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.

We can work into your cyclical maintenance plan on a timetable you set.

On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
