Leave it or put it right?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows normally get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Dunipace. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
Why us?
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards

Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Dunipace
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Dunipace carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and a mix of products and colours from past repairs, we can put it right, on communal kitchens and washrooms, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Dunipace first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Dunipace, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not 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.

Questions we’re asked in Dunipace
Will you take on work at estates like Chattan Industrial Estate, close to Dunipace?
Yes. We cover Dunipace and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Chattan Industrial Estate. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Dunipace off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What will the job cost?
We don’t publish prices, as every site differs. With photos or drawings, we can give you a fixed quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you quote from photographs?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs typically get a visit.
Which sealant will you use?
The specification comes first, if there is one. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.

What sets the cost
Your fixed quote is built from the real scope. It takes account of:
- Which sealant the job calls for
- The site’s rules and procedures
- How much there is to seal
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- The site address and postcode
- The type of building and who uses it
- When you need the work done
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before anything is cut or cleaned, and the work usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. Where we can, we combine work around Dunipace with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site

- Flag any permit to work we’ll need

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Dunipace
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
For owners of several units at places like Chattan Industrial Estate (2.6 miles south-east of Dunipace), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.
Before you book anyone
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
