How we handle mastic sealing in Craichie
Across Craichie and the rest of Angus, we work the same way: 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. If you are dealing with complaints coming in block by block and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. For commercial sealant work in Craichie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller Scottish places like Craichie, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Guaranteed is the last step of every job. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Quoting for work in Craichie
The price varies from site to site. Expect it to depend on:
- The product specified
- How much existing material needs removing
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- The site address and postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- When you need the work done
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
FAQs: Craichie
Is Craichie too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Craichie is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Craichie?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
How a job runs
Diagnose, treat, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. For work around Craichie, we aim for one trip, so photographs, 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.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

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.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Craichie
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Failed external movement joints
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
Trustees of buildings like Dunnichen Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
- Who will actually carry out the work
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, 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.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
