Mastic sealing in Letham
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: 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 along with complaints. If you are dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and water getting in round frames after rain, we can put it right. For commercial sealant work in Letham, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Letham is planned with the forecast. Programmes allow for the weather.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Fife. Should something we installed fail, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will come back to it.

Common problems we fix in Letham
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
It’s worth sending us details if you spot any of the following:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
If you’re responsible for a building such as Monimail Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Fresh joints make shared areas look looked after.
Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- The product specified
- Joint width, depth and condition
- Any access equipment needed
- How much there is to seal
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
