Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Working within restricted access windows
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- When you need the work done
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
How we handle mastic sealing in Inverkeilor
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover, and it ages quietly: it sits round windows and doors, along external joints and through communal areas. Once it cracks, hardens or comes away, draughts and water find a way in, and occupiers start reporting it. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and the same joint failures repeated across a portfolio, we can help. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Inverkeilor from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
In smaller Scottish places like Inverkeilor, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:

- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Blocks and managed buildings in Inverkeilor
With the shore within about 3 miles, Inverkeilor counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather typically needs its mastic renewed first. The east of Scotland, where Inverkeilor is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Inverkeilor Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Inverkeilor
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Movement joints with sealant missing
Around Inverkeilor, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How joint depth will be controlled
After the work
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away, and note the building and elevation.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Inverkeilor is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

Inverkeilor: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Inverkeilor change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Inverkeilor?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Do you work in Inverkeilor?
Yes. Inverkeilor is in our area and the rest of Angus, within our coverage of Greater London, South East England and Scotland. For a quote, call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, block and estate work is a core part of what we do. We work through buildings in a planned order with dates agreed in advance.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
