Block-wide mastic in Lockerbie
Lockerbie is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If your remit includes a building such as Lockerbie Academy, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays. Buildings close to stations like Lockerbie station, under half a mile east of Lockerbie, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound. If you’re responsible for a building such as Holy Trinity R.C. Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

What else we do in Lockerbie
Questions we are asked in Lockerbie
Can you quote for a block close to Lockerbie station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Lockerbie off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
How do you choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Surface by surface
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building, so phasing has to suit both. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we’ll plan around them.
Tenement and older buildings
Stone needs a neutral-cure product, so we pick a grade that won’t mark it.
Commercial clients in Lockerbie
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor on new-build and refurbishment projects. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules.
Housing associations and managing agents often need work done across blocks and communal areas. We phase the work so people keep access, with each stage agreed with your site contact.
What sealant work can’t fix
Before quoting, we check that sealant is the right answer. It won’t put right:
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will say what we think.
Where we work in Lockerbie
- External wall and movement joints
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
Doing it in-house
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
