Cost factors for mastic joints
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Access details, including height
- Your programme or deadline
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Specification clauses that apply
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Mastic sealing in Craigmore
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. Site teams most often ask us about failed external movement joints and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Craigmore from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around Craigmore, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common questions from Craigmore clients
Is a smaller place like Craigmore outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you work at a site such as Bute Business Park, by Craigmore?
Yes. Our area takes in Craigmore and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Bute Business Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
How long does a typical visit take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Perimeter joints on blocks are best done elevation by elevation or block by block. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.

- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint

Looking after buildings in and around Craigmore
With the shore within about 1 mile, Craigmore counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints. Craigmore is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Historic properties like Ascog House, 1.3 miles south of Craigmore, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone. For a school such as Rothesay Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Craigmore is about 12 miles south-west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Across the PA20 postcode area, the process is the same: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. 124 places across Argyll and Bute fall within our area, Craigmore among them. Glasgow is covered too, some 29 miles away.
Business premises anywhere in PA20 are within our area for mastic joints. Buildings on Wellpark Road, Albany Road and Eastlands Road are within our area for mastic joints. Close to Craigmore, our area also takes in Rothesay (1 mile west), Ardbeg (1 mile north-west), Port Bannatyne (2 miles north-west), Toward (3 miles north-east) and Innellan (4 miles north-east). Bigger towns within reach include Dunoon (9 miles north-east), An Tairbeart (15 miles west) and Sandbank (10 miles north). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so give the site location in your enquiry.
What’s near Craigmore

Common problems we fix in Craigmore
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
Look out for the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
If you own or manage units on a site such as Bute Business Park (1.5 miles south-west of Craigmore), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.

Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Craigmore. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
