Aftercare for building managers
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Moor of Granary
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card, and the work is backed by public liability insurance. Each building we complete carries a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. The enquiries we see most involve occupiers reporting cold air round windows and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, on window and door perimeters on blocks, communal kitchens and washrooms and external wall and movement joints. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in Moor of Granary is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
For buildings around Moor of Granary, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Moor of Granary: questions and answers
Is a smaller place like Moor of Granary outside your area?
No. Places such as Moor of Granary are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
We manage a building near Forres station. Can you help?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Most of our mastic sealing is for agents, factors, housing associations and portfolio landlords, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.

Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Communal areas
Communal areas stay in use while we work. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Why act early in Moor of Granary
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Waiting until leaks appear means working under pressure and less choice about when. Around smaller places like Moor of Granary, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote and we’ll price your job on its own details.

Work for main contractors and building owners
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor. We work to your programme, your specification and your site rules, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Should maintenance staff do it?
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance 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.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Blocks and managed buildings in Moor of Granary
Moor of Granary is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
Property owners at sites such as Forres Enterprise Park, 2.6 miles to the north of Moor of Granary, can have mastic renewed between lettings. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Forres station, 3.3 miles north-west of Moor of Granary, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building. Older community buildings, Old Parish Church and Burial Ground among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
