Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
How we handle mastic sealing in Ferryden
For blocks and buildings in Ferryden and across Angus, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. The enquiries we see most involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and leaks at window and door perimeters, on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whoever orders the work in Ferryden, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
In smaller Scottish places like Ferryden, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Do you need mastic sealing in Ferryden?
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Draughts at frames across a block
Older community buildings, Inchbrayock U.F. Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

Questions about Ferryden
We manage a building near Montrose station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is a smaller place like Ferryden outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry 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.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Blocks and managed buildings in Ferryden
The sea is no more than about 1 mile from Ferryden. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first. Being in the east of Scotland, Ferryden gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Block programmes are built with that in mind
Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Montrose station (to the north of Ferryden) and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. If you own or manage units on a site such as Broomfield Industrial Estate, 1.8 miles north of Ferryden, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit.
Ferryden is about 1 mile south of Montrose, in Angus. Across the DD10 postcode area, it works the same way: details in, fixed quote out, then sealing and a 12-month guarantee. Our Angus coverage takes in 65 places, large and small. Dundee is covered too, some 25 miles away.

What affects the price in Ferryden
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Access and working height
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Travel to remote or island sites
No two sites price the same: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- Your programme or deadline
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
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, ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email.
Work for main contractors and building owners
Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. We can agree access arrangements and keyholder contacts beforehand.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
When something else is needed
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
