Work needed on a mastic joint in Corrie Common? We look at it, seal it with the right product and hand it over with a 12-month guarantee.

Mastic sealing across Corrie Common
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- External wall and movement joints
Mastic sealing in Corrie Common, done properly
Across Corrie Common and the rest of Dumfries and Galloway, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. If you are dealing with repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings and communal area joints that look neglected, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Corrie Common? Mastic Doctor has worked for contractors, FMs and building owners since 2005.
Travel to smaller places like Corrie Common is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.
From enquiry to sign-off
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Corrie Common 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 comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Let building users know which areas are affected
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.

What else we do in Corrie Common
Your questions answered
Can you quote for a block close to Lockerbie station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Corrie Common off your patch?
Not at all. Corrie Common is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Why it’s worth doing now in Corrie Common
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. Around smaller places like Corrie Common, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Cost factors for mastic joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
- The total length or number of joints
- Removal of failed or old sealant
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The type of building and who uses it
- Your programme or deadline
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
