For owners and agents in Hatton
Hatton lies within about 3 miles of the sea. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The east of Scotland, where Hatton is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Owners near Hatton can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For a building around Hatton, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What site paperwork they can supply
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
On site: what to expect
A typical day starts with protection: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. On site, the work typically takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Hatton is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, 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.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions

How the quote is worked out
Quotes vary with the job. It mainly depends on:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote and we will put a fixed figure on it.
What we need to price the job
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Specification clauses that apply
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
To get a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the site address and an outline of the work. Our quote form is another easy route.
General trades versus a specialist
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Maintenance after handover
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Silicone usually can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

FAQs: Hatton
Will you price a mastic programme across our Hatton portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is a smaller place like Hatton outside your area?
Not at all. Hatton is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hatton
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Hatton before they leak.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
