Mastic sealing across Lyne of Skene
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
From enquiry to sign-off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Lyne of Skene is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- Joints are resealed and tooled.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.

Your questions answered
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Lyne of Skene?
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.
Is Lyne of Skene off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
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 choose the sealant?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Why deal with it now?
Failed perimeter mastic lets cold air in around frames and the windows typically get the blame. In many cases, new perimeter sealant deals with it where the frames themselves are sound. For buildings near Lyne of Skene, dealing with all the failing joints at once saves return trips. Send photos and we will quote for everything together.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote.

After the work
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Share these points with them:
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
Add mastic joints to your cyclical inspections. Watch for splits, open gaps, hard or chalky surfaces and mastic pulling away and record where they are.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
How the job changes by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Consistent products and colours across an estate make future maintenance simpler and easier to manage.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial occupiers usually stay open during the work so the work is phased.
Doing it in-house
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong typically costs more in the end than doing them right.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Lyne of Skene
Topping up old mastic is a common shortcut. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant, so these repairs rarely last.
Clients usually get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Damp patches beside frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
Buildings close to stations like Kintore station (to the north of Lyne of Skene) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
Before you book anyone
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- Whether old or failed sealant will be cut out, not overlaid
