About our mastic sealing in Lochgelly
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on communal entrances and stairwells, external wall and movement joints and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are old repairs sealed over failed mastic and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Lochgelly, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around smaller places such as Lochgelly, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic typically fails first.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

For owners and agents in Lochgelly
Lochgelly is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions. Block programmes are built with that in mind Lochgelly has three care or nursing homes no more than 2 miles away. Owners of care premises can bring window and door mastic into a phased programme planned around the home.
For owners of several units at places like Lochgelly Business Park, 0.5 miles north-east of Lochgelly, one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot. Buildings close to stations like Lochgelly station (to the north of Lochgelly) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Your questions answered
Is Lochgelly too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Lochgelly are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you take on work at estates like Lochgelly Business Park, close to Lochgelly?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Lochgelly, Lochgelly Business Park among them, are all within reach. To start, just phone 01277 525 020 or email the details over with the unit, the joints involved and your access times.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.
How much does the work cost?
It depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we will price it properly.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we’ll tell you how we’d approach it.
What sealant work can’t fix
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints

What else we do in Lochgelly
Quoting for work in Lochgelly
To price the job, we consider:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- The size and state of each joint
- How accessible the joints are
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
There’s no price list, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Sending details for a quote
For an accurate fixed quote, we need a clear picture of the site. Useful things to include:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- What the building is and how it’s used
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
Different surfaces, different methods
Estate-wide resealing programmes

Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
Do you need mastic sealing in Lochgelly?
Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, and low-level joints get damaged. Regular cleaning wears them further.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
For a school such as Lochgelly High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?

- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
