About our mastic sealing in Dunkeld
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits and we quote and schedule each building in turn. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and window mastic that has split and shrunk, on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Dunkeld tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
In smaller Scottish places like Dunkeld, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and the quote explains what it covers.

What happens if it’s left?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure with less control over timing. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Common questions from Dunkeld clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Dunkeld & Birnam station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you work at a site such as Cally Industrial Estate, by Dunkeld?
Yes. We cover Dunkeld and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Cally Industrial Estate. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
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, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

When it isn’t the sealant
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We will tell you if the real problem is any of the following:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Cost factors for mastic joints
What shapes the price:
- How much there is to seal
- The product specified
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote when you are ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Your programme or deadline
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The type of building and who uses it
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To ask for one, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
Movement joints are cleaned out, backed with rod and resealed with a sealant of the right movement class.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, with the work itself usually taking a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For a building near Dunkeld, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
