- Broken glass or failed sealed units

About our mastic sealing in Dunecht
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Dunecht is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Travel to smaller places like Dunecht is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Related advice
Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. Suspect material is tested before work continues.
External movement joints
The joint width has to suit the movement and the sealant’s capability with the width-to-depth ratio set as the manufacturer advises.
Why it’s worth doing now in Dunecht
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Dunecht, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

Your questions answered
Will you take on work at estates like Kirkwood Business Park, close to Dunecht?
Yes, sites like Kirkwood Business Park are within our area, along with the rest of Dunecht. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Is Dunecht too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, and we confirm it before leaving site.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How do we ask for a quote?
You can use the quote form on this site; alternatively, call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
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.
How the quote is worked out
Before we quote, we look at:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- How much existing material needs removing
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Phasing around occupants
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What we need to price the job
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The postcode of the building
Tell us about the building, the joints and when you need the work done, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.
