Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Newlands of Culloden
Treatment starts with a proper look: what has failed, what caused it and whether new sealant will actually solve it. Old mastic is removed entirely, the faces prepared, primer used where the maker specifies it and new sealant tooled in and backing rod used wherever a joint is deep. The enquiries we see most involve draughts at frames across a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from Newlands of Culloden start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Newlands of Culloden, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Do you need mastic sealing in Newlands of Culloden?
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New silicone has nothing to grip on old silicone and the repair soon fails.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
Landlords with units on estates such as Smithton Industrial Estate (to the west of Newlands of Culloden) can bring frame, door and external mastic across several units into one programme.

What else we do in Newlands of Culloden
General trades versus a specialist
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Redoing a failed joint normally costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Newlands of Culloden
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The product specified
- The size and state of each joint
- How much there is to seal
- Location, for remote and island sites
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access. Ask us for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, the same details help:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
