How we handle mastic sealing in Cromdale
Owners and agents normally inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you’re dealing with draughts at frames across a block and window mastic that has split and shrunk, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Cromdale tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Cromdale is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand behind the joints we seal with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
General trades versus a specialist
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
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.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Entrance doors, screens and corridor junctions in communal areas all have sealant joints. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work, so we plan around them.
What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and usually fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Cromdale, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Why us?
- 12 months’ guarantee on every job

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints

Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Cromdale. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Let us know about inductions and permits

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

For owners of several units at places like Achnagonalin Industrial Estate, 2.8 miles south-west of Cromdale, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Older community buildings, Cromdale Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
