Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked with your site contact. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For a building near Dinnet, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint 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
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Point out any areas we must not close
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
Mastic sealing in Dinnet, done properly
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you have estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dinnet tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Dinnet is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Mastic sealing around Dinnet: how the place shapes the job
Being in the east of Scotland, Dinnet gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind

Questions we are asked in Dinnet
Is a smaller place like Dinnet outside your area?
Not at all. Dinnet is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Dinnet?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
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 are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What else we do in Dinnet
Signs you need mastic sealing in Dinnet
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
Older community buildings, Dinnet Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What to look for in a quote
- How they’ll work around occupants
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
What sets the cost
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Access and working height
- The total length or number of joints
- Travel to remote or island sites
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Sending details for a quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Any specification or named product
- Your programme or deadline
- The type of building and who uses it
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote you can plan around. For a chat about it beforehand, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us.
Owners, agents and contractors
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. You get a fixed quote, an agreed scope and a walk round at the end.
After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
