Mastic sealing in Inchmagrannachan
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable while we work. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are brittle perimeter mastic across a building and failed external movement joints. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Inchmagrannachan, preparation and product choice get the time they need.

What the job involves on each surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Doing it in-house
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
How the quote is worked out
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The product specified
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The total length or number of joints
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, and any specification that applies. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
We begin with a short walk round with whoever looks after the building, to confirm the scope, the order of work and any areas we must keep clear. After that, any old or failed material is removed, each joint is prepared and the new sealant goes in. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Inchmagrannachan 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
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Point out any areas we must not close

Advice
Questions we are asked in Inchmagrannachan
Does your area include sites such as Cally Industrial Estate, near Inchmagrannachan?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Inchmagrannachan, Cally Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Inchmagrannachan too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: the volume of work, the access, the specified product and how it’s phased. Call for a quote and we will price it properly.
How long do sealant joints 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 send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Can you take on resealing for a block portfolio?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn with dates agreed in advance.
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.

Maintenance after handover
Once the work is signed off, a little attention goes a long way:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
