Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. Resealing a whole building gives a consistent finish. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Monifieth before they leak.
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, how much old material needs removing and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.

Related advice
Your questions answered
Does the sea air around Monifieth change the choice of sealant?
It can, yes: buildings near the sea take more wind-driven rain, and salt in the air nearer the shore. We choose the product for the exposure, prime where the manufacturer requires it and size the joint for its movement.
Do you cover business parks and estates near Monifieth, such as West Pitkerro Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Monifieth, West Pitkerro Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
Will you come and look before quoting?
It depends on the job. Simple work can often be priced from photographs, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Yes, planned programmes suit estates and portfolios. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. Dates and areas are agreed with you so residents or tenants can be told, and entrances stay in use.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Planned maintenance
Resealing can be scheduled alongside other planned works, building by building.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Monifieth
Much failed sealant was laid on dirty, dusty or damp surfaces. Without clean, sound faces and a primer where the product needs one it comes away from one face.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- Leaks at window and door perimeters
- Movement joints with sealant missing
For owners of several units at places like West Pitkerro Industrial Estate (2.2 miles west of Monifieth), one programme can deal with frame and external mastic across the lot.

Mastic sealing around Monifieth: how the place shapes the job
Monifieth lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, and they deserve more regular inspection. Being in the east of Scotland, Monifieth gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. Programmes allow for that
For a school such as Grange Primary School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job. For agents with blocks near Monifieth station, which lies south-east of Monifieth, a block-wide mastic programme deals with frames, balconies and entrances in one go.
