On site: what to expect
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Leverburgh. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- 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.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

Mastic sealing in Leverburgh, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. If you are dealing with draught complaints from residents or tenants and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal entrances and stairwells and shopfronts below residential blocks alike. Most enquiries from Leverburgh start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
In smaller Scottish places like Leverburgh, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. That covers our preparation and application.

Leave it or put it right?
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. That can lead to damp, staining and damage to finishes and those cost far more to put right. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Leverburgh. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

What we’re called out for in Leverburgh
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Look out for the following:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
Around Leverburgh, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
Before you book anyone
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Proof of insurance
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards

Should maintenance staff do it?
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Leverburgh: questions and answers
Is Leverburgh inside the area you cover, given it’s on an island?
Yes. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike, and that includes island locations such as Leverburgh. Island work is planned around ferry crossings and the weather, so photos and a full list before we travel are essential.
Does a coastal location like Leverburgh affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Is any job too small?
Single areas, one-off repairs and whole buildings are all quoted the same way: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
How soon can the area be used again?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. The quote can be split however suits your budgeting.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
Looking after the joints
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
When it isn’t the sealant
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Glazing that needs replacing
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
Not sure which it is? You can speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints

Looking after buildings in and around Leverburgh
Leverburgh sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the west of Scotland, Leverburgh gets more rain than eastern areas. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Near Leverburgh, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.
