Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Crieff
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
Things that typically lead to an enquiry:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
Churches, halls and community buildings such as St Michael's Hall are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Mastic sealing in Crieff, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are complaints coming in block by block and leaks at window and door perimeters. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Crieff first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Crieff, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Cost factors for mastic joints
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
Details that help us quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them

Questions about Crieff
Is Crieff too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you work in a care home in Crieff without moving residents out?
Yes. We work around residents’ routines, a room or two at a time. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Do you need to see the site first?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
When is resealing likely to be due?
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.
Honest limits
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Crieff are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
