Mastic sealing near Edzell
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Mastic sealing in Edzell
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are a mix of products and colours from past repairs and movement joints with sealant missing. Most enquiries from Edzell 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.
For buildings around Edzell, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

How the job changes by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers typically stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Using the same products throughout keeps the estate consistent.
Leave it or put it right?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Edzell before they leak.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Colours chosen to suit frames, cladding or finishes where possible
- Over 20 years of commercial sealing
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Where we can, we combine work around Edzell with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Agree which areas must stay open
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work

Common questions from Edzell clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Edzell?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Edzell?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order so you can plan around it.
Common problems we fix in Edzell
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified, the bead peels off one side.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- No planned programme for sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
If you are responsible for a building such as Edzell Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
