Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.

Your questions answered
Does a coastal location like Colinsburgh affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Is Colinsburgh too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
What will the job cost?
It depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What affects the price in Colinsburgh
To price the job, we consider:
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with what you know.
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

On site, the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Colinsburgh is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs
