Your questions answered
Will you price a mastic programme across our Levenwick portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Can you take on a job in Levenwick, on the island?
Yes, Levenwick is within the area we cover. We cover the whole of Scotland. We group island work where we can and plan around the crossings.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
How do you choose the sealant?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.

Leave it or put it right?
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. 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.
The specified product makes a difference, and so does the preparation. Access, phasing and site rules also count.

Looking after buildings in and around Levenwick
With the shore within about 1 mile, Levenwick counts as a coastal location. Blocks and commercial buildings facing the sea take the most weather on their window perimeters and external joints, and they deserve more regular inspection. The east of Scotland, where Levenwick is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions.
Wherever your building is in or near Levenwick, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now. Around Levenwick, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

Different surfaces, different methods
Tenement and older buildings
Traditional buildings have joints that need a careful approach. The material either side of the joint shapes the product choice.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Once that happens, repairs come before resealing.
What else we do in Levenwick
When it isn’t the sealant
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
Not sure which it is? You can give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
