- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

About our mastic sealing in Craigton
For blocks and buildings in Craigton and across Angus, the process is the same: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, and the work is guaranteed. Addresses, photographs of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote or we can visit. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are open joints in brickwork or panels and worn sealant at communal door frames. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: in Craigton, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
In smaller Scottish places like Craigton, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
What happens if it’s left?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Craigton before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
What you get with us
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- One number for every site we cover
- Public liability insurance in place
