Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
Where a paintable product was specified, it can be painted after curing. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Lonmore
Most buildings come with mastic joints nobody has looked at since handover and it slowly wears out: window perimeters, door frames, external joints and communal junctions all rely on it. When it hardens, splits or pulls away, water and draughts follow, and occupiers start reporting it. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are movement joints with sealant missing and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. Searching for sealant specialists in Lonmore? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005.
In smaller Scottish places like Lonmore, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. We sign and contain the area we are in, with routes through the building left open and move on in phases so staff and visitors can carry on around us. For work around Lonmore, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- 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.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows

What sets the cost
What shapes the price:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Joint width, depth and condition
- How much existing material needs removing
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
Before you send an enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- The product your specification calls for
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Send us photographs, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.
Lonmore: questions and answers
Does the sea air around Lonmore change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. Product choice and preparation matter more, and sea-facing elevations are worth inspecting more often.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Lonmore?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Is Lonmore in your area?
Yes. Sites across Lonmore are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Which sealant will you use?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We hold CHAS accreditation and Constructionline membership.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lonmore
Open external joints let water into walls and around frames. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow, which is harder to deal with than resealing. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Lonmore. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Pricing mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Call for a quote.

Planned mastic for Lonmore portfolios
Lonmore sits close to the coast, within about 2 miles. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Lonmore is on Scotland’s wetter western side. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. External work is booked for dry spells, with a little give in the dates.
Owners near Lonmore can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

What we are called out for in Lonmore
Poor preparation explains many failed joints. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one, the bead peels off one side.
Common reasons buildings call us in:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Draughts at frames across a block
For a building around Lonmore, a look at every elevation first shows which joints need renewing now and which can wait.
What your quote should include
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
How the job changes by surface
External movement joints
Failed sealant is removed, backing rod inserted to control depth and the joint resealed with a grade whose movement class fits.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
