Mastic sealing across Dalswinton
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
About our mastic sealing in Dalswinton
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. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dalswinton first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around smaller places such as Dalswinton, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Adding mastic to planned maintenance avoids reactive repairs and keeps budgets predictable.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Leave it or put it right?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. Planned resealing covers a whole building or estate in one go, under a single quote and a single programme. For buildings near Dalswinton, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photographs and we will quote for everything together.
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
What you get with us
- Colour agreed before work starts
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
Common questions from Dalswinton clients
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Dalswinton?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Dalswinton?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Our insurance certificate can be sent alongside the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
If you look after buildings for someone else, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
What else we do in Dalswinton
Quoting for work in Dalswinton
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- The total length or number of joints
- The product specified
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
A good diagnosis starts with the right details. Tell us:
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us.
From enquiry to sign-off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, agreeing which joints are in scope, where to start and what must stay open. Then we strip out anything that has failed, prepare every joint and seal it. For a building near Dalswinton, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Before we start on site

- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
