What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
What sets the cost
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we take into account:
- How much existing material needs removing
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- Working within restricted access windows
- Joint width, depth and condition
What a job costs comes down to the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- The postcode of the building
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings.

Block-wide mastic in Muchalls
Muchalls sits close to the coast, within about 1 mile. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. Being in the east of Scotland, Muchalls gets less rain than the west coast. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on.
Trustees of buildings like Saint Ternan's Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. Blocks of flats and mixed-use buildings often cluster around stations such as Portlethen station, 3 miles to the north-east of Muchalls, and their window and balcony mastic tends to age at the same rate across a building.

Why act early in Muchalls
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It doesn’t bond and typically fails within a short time. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Early resealing prevents it.
Small jobs and large programmes are priced from the same things: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.

Questions about Muchalls
Can you quote for a block close to Portlethen station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we’ll quote and plan to suit.
Is a smaller place like Muchalls outside your area?
No. Places such as Muchalls are covered as much as the big towns. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we’ll plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
Can weather delay the job?
Outside, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
How many days will you need on site?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long before the joints can be used?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.
What we can’t put right
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Keeping the joints sound
Every sealant joint needs some looking after, and their life depends on movement, exposure, cleaning and use. Our advice:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. Early reports catch failures before damage spreads.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings so spending is spread.
