Why it’s worth doing now in Markethill
Looking at mastic during planned maintenance costs little. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Markethill, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
No two sites price the same: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why us?
- Failed material removed, not covered up
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Workmanship guaranteed for 12 months
- Matching to RAL references, product permitting

About our mastic sealing in Markethill
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Our applicators are CSCS-carded and we hold public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. If you have failed external movement joints and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help, on shopfronts below residential blocks, window and door perimeters on blocks and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Most enquiries from Markethill start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Markethill is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Markethill as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Questions we’re asked in Markethill
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Markethill?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Is Markethill off your patch?
Not at all. Markethill is within our area. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Inside work is seldom held up.
When can the area be used after sealing?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
When to call us in Markethill
Occasionally the substrate fails, not the sealant, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. If the edges are unsound, we say so before quoting the sealing.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Occupiers reporting cold air round windows
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Markethill, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
What your quote should include
- The terms of the workmanship guarantee
- The named product and why it was chosen
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- What site paperwork they can supply
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
