Mastic sealing in Huntingtower

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Diagnose, treat, sign off

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Where we can, we combine work around Huntingtower with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

Getting the site ready

  • Warn occupants and staff about the work
  • Point out any areas we must not close
  • Have the specification and drawings to hand

Quotes

If there’s a specification, drawings or a tender package, send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photos and a few notes.

Mastic sealing in Huntingtower, done properly

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you are dealing with damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and movement joints with sealant missing, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Huntingtower from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.

Travel to smaller places like Huntingtower is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.

Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. How long a sealant joint lasts depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use, so we are clear about what is covered before work starts.

Honest limits

We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:

  • Substrate edges that need repairing first
  • Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
  • Broken glass or failed sealed units

If you are not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we seal

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

Do you need mastic sealing in Huntingtower?

Sunlight and weather break mastic down over time. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear, especially on south and west faces.

Things that normally lead to an enquiry:

  • Draughts at frames across a block
  • Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
  • Failed external movement joints
  • Complaints coming in block by block

Property owners at sites such as Inveralmond Business Centre (to the north-east of Huntingtower) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Before you book anyone

  • Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
  • How joint depth will be controlled
  • Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
  • Proof of insurance

FAQs: Huntingtower

Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Perth station?

Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.

Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.

Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?

Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.

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.

Can you follow the specification on our project?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.

How long does a typical visit take?

The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.

When to bring in a specialist

The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.

Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
