Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Mastic sealing in Methven, done properly
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve brittle perimeter mastic across a building and movement joints with sealant missing, across external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and shopfronts below residential blocks. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Methven, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Methven is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
We stand by our work with a 12-month guarantee. It covers how we prepared and applied the sealant, and if something we did falls short, we return to it.

What we can’t put right
We check first that sealant really is the fix. It isn’t the answer for:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
Keeping the joints sound
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. We suggest:
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Common problems we fix in Methven
Many failed joints were sealed without backing rod, so the mastic is glued to the joint bottom too. It can’t stretch properly and splits as the building moves.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Failed external movement joints
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Property owners at sites such as Glenalmond Business Park (1.5 miles north-east of Methven) can have mastic renewed between lettings.

Questions about Methven
Is Methven too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can one quote cover a number of our buildings near Methven?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photos and we will give a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship and we hold public liability insurance.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How long do sealant joints last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

Planned maintenance
Mastic wears out like any building component; how fast comes down to movement, weather, UV and the product. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Once that sealant goes, rain can reach the wall.
