Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping the joints sound
To get the most from the new sealant:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
About our mastic sealing in Invergowrie
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 and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. Most enquiries involve estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and open joints in brickwork or panels, on shopfronts below residential blocks, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks. For commercial sealant work in Invergowrie, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, whether it’s one building or several.
Many of Scotland’s city tenements are looked after by property factors. Shared-part mastic work is typically agreed by the owners, often through the factor, and can cover a whole close or block.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

How a job runs
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Agree which areas must stay open
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send your site hours and access windows
Getting a fixed quote

Related advice
Should maintenance staff do it?
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Cost factors for mastic joints
These are the things that shape the price:
- Phasing around occupants
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
What to include in your enquiry
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Let us know:
- Access details, including height
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The site address and postcode
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
What we can’t put right
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
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.

FAQs: Invergowrie
Our building in Invergowrie is near the coast: does that change the sealant?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Will you take on a block within reach of Invergowrie station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so it all comes out first.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long do sealant joints last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, but the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
