How we handle mastic sealing in Ingliston
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 and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and what we are called in for most is the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio and complaints coming in block by block. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Ingliston? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
In smaller Scottish places like Ingliston, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: twelve months on the work we carried out. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler.
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Why deal with it now?
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Our applicators hold CSCS cards
- A fixed quote before work starts
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Ingliston. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Share your working hours and any access restrictions
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Quoting for work in Ingliston
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Phasing around occupants
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What to include in your enquiry
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- The product your specification calls for
- What the building is and how it’s used
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
For a fixed quote, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings. Our quote form is another easy route.
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Log resealing dates block by block
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and the complaints that come with it.
When it isn’t the sealant
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
