Our process
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Jobs near Luss are often grouped with others in the same area. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.

Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings, we can put it right. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Luss from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around Luss, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee is for workmanship rather than wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

Blocks and managed buildings in Luss
Luss is on Scotland’s wetter western side. Frame mastic on weather-facing sides tends to fail first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Trustees of buildings like Luss Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Owners near Luss can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.

What sets the cost
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Travel to remote or island sites
- How much there is to seal
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
We don’t publish prices, because the scope varies so much from one building to the next. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. Please tell us:
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
- The postcode of the building
- The product your specification calls for
- Access details, including height
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings with what you know.

Questions about Luss
Will you price a mastic programme across our Luss portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Luss?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
Are you CHAS accredited?
Yes. We are CHAS accredited, we’re a Constructionline member and we use CSCS-carded applicators.
Are your applicators CSCS-carded?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators, which many sites require.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Who decides which product is used?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Owners, agents and contractors
CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, we’re straightforward to vet for your supplier list. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
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.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Why it’s worth doing now in Luss
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee and one 12-month guarantee. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Luss, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.

What sealant work can’t fix
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think.
