How we handle mastic sealing in Craighouse
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you are dealing with a mix of products and colours from past repairs and brittle perimeter mastic across a building, we can help, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Craighouse start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Craighouse, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
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 spell out the cover before we begin.

Craighouse: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Craighouse outside your area?
Not at all. Craighouse is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Craighouse?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Does the weather affect the work?
It can, when the joints are outside. 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.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
When to call us in Craighouse
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
Around Craighouse, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- How they’ll work around occupants
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
What the job involves on each surface
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Craighouse
Craighouse is within about 1 mile of the coast. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. Craighouse is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. Programmes allow for wet days.
If you are responsible for a building such as Craighouse Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
