About our mastic sealing in Drumoak
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you are dealing with occupiers reporting cold air round windows and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints alike. Whoever orders the work in Drumoak, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around Drumoak, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

After the work
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Drumoak. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Flag any permit to work we’ll need
- Share the asbestos register for older buildings
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal

General trades versus a specialist
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Mastic sealing in Drumoak: the local picture
Being in the east of Scotland, Drumoak gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Older community buildings, Drumoak Kirk among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It allows for:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Phasing around occupants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

- Draughts at frames across a block

- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
Common questions from Drumoak clients
Is Drumoak off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Drumoak?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
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.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
