How we handle mastic sealing in Little Ballinluig
Owners and agents usually inherit a building’s mastic rather than choose it, and it ages quietly: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow along with complaints. Most enquiries involve open joints in brickwork or panels and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, across shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Little Ballinluig, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Little Ballinluig is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Common questions from Little Ballinluig clients
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Pitlochry station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Little Ballinluig?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Send the addresses and photos and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
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.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
What the job involves on each surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. We quote building by building and work through them in turn.
For managing agents and facilities managers
We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Sites in Little Ballinluig can sit alongside others in a wider programme across Perth and Kinross.
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. We are fully insured, and our insurance certificate can go with the quote.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
If a joint we sealed fails within 12 months, tell us and we will look at it. After that, regular inspection keeps the programme on track.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
