Need mastic sealing in Drumoig?
Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Drumoig
Across Drumoig and the rest of Fife, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and communal area joints that look neglected, on communal entrances and stairwells, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. For commercial sealant work in Drumoig, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Drumoig is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Drumoig: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Drumoig outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
We manage a building near Leuchars station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
How do you choose the sealant?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
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.
Can you plan resealing across several buildings?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.

Our process
The first thing on site is a walk round with your contact, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. For a building near Drumoig, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the 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.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
- Let us know about inductions and permits
- Tell us your opening times and when work is allowed
Quotes
For a fixed quote, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form, telling us the site location and the nature of the job. Our quote form is another easy route.
Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will say what we think.
What we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
General trades versus a specialist
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Drumoig
Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks, especially on south and west faces.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Lady Leng Memorial Chapel are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Looking after buildings in and around Drumoig
Drumoig sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Drumoig is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
For agents with blocks near Leuchars station, which lies south of Drumoig, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go. Student blocks close to universities like University of Dundee (to the north-west of Drumoig) are easiest to work on between tenancies.
