About our mastic sealing in Little Brechin
Across Little Brechin and the rest of Angus, we work the same way: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. A list of buildings, a few photographs and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Site teams most often ask us about old repairs sealed over failed mastic and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, on balcony and threshold joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Whoever orders the work in Little Brechin, the brief is normally the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
Around smaller places such as Little Brechin, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we are upfront about that.

Different surfaces, different methods
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
On site: what to expect
Inspect, seal, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Little Brechin is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- Dates, areas and access are agreed so residents or tenants can be told in advance.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

What affects the price in Little Brechin
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. Site requirements like inductions and permits play a part as well, along with the time of year for external work.

Common problems we fix in Little Brechin
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Most enquiries start with something like this:
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
Schools and community buildings such as Brechin High School need frame and external mastic kept sound like any building.
What your quote should include
- Their public liability cover
- Are they CHAS accredited or on Constructionline?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
What happens if it’s left?
Dealing with failed joints one report at a time is slow and scattered. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. 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. Resealing early avoids that.
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

Little Brechin: questions and answers
Do you cover business parks and estates near Little Brechin, such as Brechin Business Park?
Yes. We cover Little Brechin and the area around it, including industrial estates, business parks and retail parks such as Brechin Business Park. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Little Brechin?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How long before the joints can be used?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
