Mastic sealing for Dunblane sites
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Mastic sealing in Dunblane, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and water getting in round frames after rain. Most enquiries from Dunblane start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Dunblane is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- The size and state of each joint
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The product specified
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Common problems we fix in Dunblane
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Damp patches beside frames
- No planned programme for sealant
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Owners of student blocks near University of Stirling, 3.5 miles south-east of Dunblane, can schedule frame and external mastic for the summer vacation.
What your quote should include
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What site paperwork they can supply

Advice
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
Questions about Dunblane
Is Dunblane off your patch?
Not at all. Dunblane is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Is Duckburn Park Industrial Estate, near Dunblane, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Dunblane and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Duckburn Park Industrial Estate included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
What do you charge?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. Send photos or drawings and we will price it at a fixed figure.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Blocks and managed buildings in Dunblane
Being in the east of Scotland, Dunblane gets less rain than the west coast. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind
If you look after a block within reach of Dunblane station, under half a mile south of Dunblane, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Property owners at sites such as Duckburn Park Industrial Estate (0.6 miles south of Dunblane) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Around Dunblane

Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Owners, agents and contractors
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so the building keeps working while we do.
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.
