Mastic sealing for Lilliesleaf sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Doing it in-house
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.

After the work
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Include sealant in planned building inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you’ll have a fixed figure to work with.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- The product your specification calls for
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Share whatever details you have and we’ll fill any gaps with a visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lilliesleaf
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Lilliesleaf before they leak.
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote when you’re ready.

Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
