Honest limits
Sealant solves a lot, but not everything, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
If you are not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we seal
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

How the quote is worked out
What shapes the price:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
What to include in your enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Specification clauses that apply
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Access details, including height
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price the work to it. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

When to call us in Milltown of Aberdalgie
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Where the faces weren’t cleaned or primed as specified it comes away from one face.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Communal area joints that look neglected
Older community buildings, Aberdalgie Parish Church and Churchyard among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
What to look for in a quote
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- How they’ll work around occupants
Maintenance after handover
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. We suggest:
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Milltown of Aberdalgie.

Milltown of Aberdalgie: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Perth station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Broxden Business Park, near Milltown of Aberdalgie, within your area?
Yes. Our area takes in Milltown of Aberdalgie and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Broxden Business Park included. A few photographs and the unit address let us price the work.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we’ll confirm the approach in the quote.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work and work can be quoted per building or as a whole.
How long before the joints can be used?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and sign any area that should be left alone.
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.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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 will confirm with the quote.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
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 usually costs more in the end than doing them right.
