Do you need mastic sealing in Gellyburn?

UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

Clients typically get in touch after noticing something like this:

  • Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
  • Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
  • Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk

Older community buildings, Caputh Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.

What to look for in a quote

  • Will failed sealant be removed rather than covered?
  • Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS

Questions about Gellyburn

Is Gellyburn too far out for you?

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Will you price a mastic programme across our Gellyburn portfolio?

Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.

Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?

Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.

How long before the joints can be used?

The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.

Can you seal joints high up on a block?

Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:

  • Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units
  • Substrate edges that need repairing first

If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Where we work in Gellyburn

  • Communal entrances and stairwells
  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Balcony and threshold joints

Keeping the joints sound

Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:

  • Reduce knocks to communal area joints
  • Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
  • Track which buildings were done and when
  • Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts

Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.

Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.

For managing agents and facilities managers

Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. Work can be phased so residents and staff keep access throughout, with each stage agreed with your site contact.

Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Gellyburn. Several sites can go on one quote, so there’s one set of paperwork to deal with.

Our process

In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. Jobs near Gellyburn are often grouped with others in the same area, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
  2. The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
  3. We agree the programme and dates with you.
  4. Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
  5. Joints are resealed and tooled.
  6. We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Preparing the site

  • Move anything stored against the joints
  • Send your site hours and access windows
  • Flag any permit to work we’ll need
