About our mastic sealing in Drumvaich
Owners and agents typically inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you are dealing with draughts at frames across a block and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Drumvaich from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Around Drumvaich, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
We stand by our work: 12 months, guaranteed. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

Work for main contractors and building owners
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Your questions answered
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Drumvaich?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Drumvaich?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you choose the sealant?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
General trades versus a specialist
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Drumvaich
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Failed external movement joints
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Wherever your building is in or near Drumvaich, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.
Before you book anyone
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Proof of insurance
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Who will actually carry out the work
What affects the price in Drumvaich
Before we quote, we look at:
- Access and working height
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Whether the work must be split into stages
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Details that help us quote
To price the job accurately, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. The easiest way is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
