Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Check for splits, open joints, brittle mastic and lifting edges, and note the building and elevation.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
How a job runs
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lindores
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. For buildings near Lindores, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Constructionline member for supplier checks
- Clear, fixed quotes
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- Colours confirmed for the specified product

How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Working within restricted access windows
- The site’s rules and procedures
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
- How the joints are reached, and at what height

Common questions from Lindores clients
Is Lindores off your patch?
Not at all. Lindores is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Lindores?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
The work is planned around occupiers. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told and communal access is kept open.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Lindores can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Fife.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
When something else is needed
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think before you book.
