Our process
We follow your site rules from the start: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. For work around Grange of Lindores, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use
Getting a fixed quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.
Advice
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It isn’t the answer for:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Grange of Lindores: questions and answers
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Grange of Lindores?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Grange of Lindores too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
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.
How long do sealant joints last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Track which buildings were done and when
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

When to call us in Grange of Lindores
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
If you’re responsible for a building such as Abdie Parish Kirk, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
