Your questions answered
Is Drakemyre too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Drakemyre is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on a block within reach of Dalry station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
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.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, when the joints are outside. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.

Leave it or put it right?
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Drakemyre before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you are ready.

Block-wide mastic in Drakemyre
Drakemyre is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. Outside mastic goes on in dry spells, with some flexibility in the programme.
Older community buildings, Trinity Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Historic properties like Montgreenan (to the south-east of Drakemyre) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

Keeping the joints sound
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Drakemyre
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.

- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block

Doing it in-house
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. With the paperwork done, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you. For work around Drakemyre, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
What we need from you
