When to bring in a specialist
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
About our mastic sealing in Cornton
Across Cornton and the rest of Stirling, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Most enquiries involve draught complaints from residents or tenants and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Cornton it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Around smaller places such as Cornton, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

On site: what to expect
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. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Cornton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
Ask for a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
After the work
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Landlords with commercial portfolios have shopfronts, office entrances and external joints to look after. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
What we can’t put right
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
Common questions from Cornton clients
Can you work at a site such as Castle Business Park, by Cornton?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Cornton, Castle Business Park among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Cornton too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll price it properly.
