Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
How we handle mastic sealing in Forgandenny
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and external wall and movement joints, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and draughts at frames across a block. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Forgandenny first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
Around smaller places such as Forgandenny, 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.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Keeping the joints sound
For the best life from the joints:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
For owners and agents in Forgandenny
Forgandenny is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Programmes allow for that
Trustees of buildings like Forgandenny Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If you look after a block within reach of Perth station (3.3 miles north-east of Forgandenny), frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme.

When to call us in Forgandenny
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope and fails early.
Look out for the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Failed external movement joints
For owners of several units at places like Broxden Business Park, 2.8 miles to the north of Forgandenny, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
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
When we get to site, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled.

Common questions from Forgandenny clients
We manage a building near Perth station. Can you help?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Forgandenny, such as Broxden Business Park?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Forgandenny, Broxden Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Does the weather affect the work?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
