Mastic sealing in Haugh of Urr, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. Site teams most often ask us about estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and external wall and movement joints. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Haugh of Urr, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

How long will the new sealant last?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
We do. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
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.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
Do you need to see the site first?
Photos, drawings or a schedule are often enough to quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a visit.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Track which buildings were done and when
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
