Mastic sealing in Lochearnhead, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We’ll confirm the colours available for the specified product. We work on shopfronts below residential blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we are asked to look at most are patchy repairs in mismatched sealant and leaks at window and door perimeters. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Lochearnhead tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Lochearnhead is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What else we do in Lochearnhead
Looking after buildings in and around Lochearnhead
Being in the west of Scotland, Lochearnhead gets more rain than eastern areas. The weather side of a block usually needs attention first. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Lochearnhead, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together. If you’re responsible for a building such as St Angus Episcopal Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

Our process
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and we clear our waste as we work. Where we can, we combine work around Lochearnhead with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- 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.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Looking after the joints
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
One failed perimeter normally means others on the same building are close so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
What affects the price in Lochearnhead
Before we quote, we look at:
- Any access equipment needed
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The total length or number of joints
- The site’s rules and procedures
The specified product makes a difference, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Any dates the work must fit around
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Specification clauses that apply

Doing it in-house
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Lochearnhead: questions and answers
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Lochearnhead?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Which documents can you supply for work in Lochearnhead?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular checks let you plan resealing before leaks or damage.
Is Lochearnhead in your area?
Yes. Sites across Lochearnhead are covered, with one number for every area we cover.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
Are you CHAS accredited and on Constructionline?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we are a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. We work across portfolios on a planned basis.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Frames vary from uPVC to aluminium and timber, so the grade we pick has to bond to frame and wall alike. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
