About our mastic sealing in Loans of Tullich
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have draught complaints from residents or tenants and damp patches beside frames, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Most enquiries from Loans of Tullich 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.
Travel to smaller places like Loans of Tullich is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant.

Loans of Tullich: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Loans of Tullich outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Does the sea air around Loans of Tullich change the choice of sealant?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
What will the job cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. To get one, phone 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
How do I request a quote?
It works in four steps: send details, receive a fixed quote, we carry out the work, and it’s guaranteed. The first step only needs photographs and a postcode.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so it all comes out first.
How long does a job like this take?
That varies with the scale of the job, though a typical visit normally takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we will set out a timescale with the quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Loans of Tullich?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Look out for the following:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
Buildings close to stations like Fearn station (to the north-west of Loans of Tullich) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
Leave it or put it right?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, and for a smaller place like Loans of Tullich, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
