Mastic sealing in New Winton, done properly
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, external wall and movement joints and window and door perimeters on blocks, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are failed external movement joints and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. Whether you call it commercial sealant work, mastic application or joint sealing, the work in New Winton is the same: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.
In smaller Scottish places like New Winton, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Whoever the client is, the cover is the same: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. Faults in the structure, damage and other trades’ work fall outside it, and we say so plainly.

Maintenance after handover
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Track which buildings were done and when
- Protect low-level joints in entrances
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Share your contractor requirements early
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Resealing when cracking first shows avoids water damage and saves internal repairs.

What else we do in New Winton
Common questions from New Winton clients
Do you work in occupied care homes around New Winton?
Yes. We agree rooms and times with the manager and work a few areas at a time. Tell us about any infection-control or safeguarding requirements and we will work to them.
Can you quote for a block close to Prestonpans station?
Yes. Blocks of any size are within what we do. Give us the building’s details and say how residents are notified, and we will quote and plan to suit.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the number of storeys and whether scaffold or other access is planned, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Is New Winton in your area?
Yes. New Winton falls within our area, and the simplest way to start is to call 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
Can you reseal a whole block or estate?
Block-wide and estate programmes are common. You get a fixed quote per building or for the whole job.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How soon can the area be used again?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.

Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, we take the joints in the sequence agreed with you, and each area is checked before we leave it.

Advice
Why act early in New Winton
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like New Winton, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
Why appoint us
- Sealing commercial buildings since 2005
- Clear, fixed quotes

For managing agents and facilities managers
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
As a CHAS accredited contractor and Constructionline member, we make supplier vetting simple. Our insurance certificate can be sent along with the quote.
When it isn’t the sealant
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
