Our process
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Gorthleck is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready

Advice
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Gorthleck
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and what we’re called in for most is damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and failed external movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, in Gorthleck it comes down to the same thing: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
In smaller Scottish places like Gorthleck, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic normally fails first.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Questions we are asked in Gorthleck
Is a smaller place like Gorthleck outside your area?
Not at all. Gorthleck is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Gorthleck?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
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.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
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.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Common problems we fix in Gorthleck
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone, so these repairs rarely last.
Things that usually lead to an enquiry:
- Complaints coming in block by block
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Historic properties like Boleskine House, 2.1 miles north-west of Gorthleck, show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?

Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Quoting for work in Gorthleck
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Phasing around occupants
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements

The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
To price the job accurately, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
