How we handle mastic sealing in Craigo
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are open joints in brickwork or panels and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Craigo from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Craigo is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Our process
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Craigo is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Related advice
Signs you need mastic sealing in Craigo
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- No planned programme for sealant
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Montrose station, 4.2 miles to the south of Craigo, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.
What to look for in a quote
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Their public liability cover
Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
What sets the cost
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- Phasing around occupants
- Travel to remote or island sites
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Send us:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Access details, including height
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- When you need the work done
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Inspecting joints regularly keeps programmes on track.

The east of Scotland, where Craigo is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Aberluthnott Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

FAQs: Craigo
Will you take on a block within reach of Montrose station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Craigo too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Craigo are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
