Share the site address and what’s failing, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote or arrange a visit.
Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we’ll look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Mastic sealing in Inchmarlo
Treatment starts with a proper look: which joints have failed, why, and whether sealant is the right answer. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in, with backing rod setting the depth where it’s needed. Site teams most often ask us about patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, across communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. Whoever orders the work in Inchmarlo, the brief is usually the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Inchmarlo is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.

Commercial clients in Inchmarlo
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Inchmarlo can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Aberdeenshire.

What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we will tell you honestly.

General trades versus a specialist
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.

Inchmarlo: questions and answers
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Inchmarlo?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Inchmarlo too far out for you?
Not at all. Inchmarlo is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
