Advice
Mastic sealing in Newton of Falkland
Different joints need different sealants. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and external wall and movement joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and complaints coming in block by block. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Newton of Falkland tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.

Cost factors for mastic joints
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
The work involved drives the cost: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.
Sending details for a quote
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Any specification or named product
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- The site address and postcode
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so you know the figure before anyone is on site. To start the process, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.
What we can’t put right
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)
Not sure which it is? You can phone 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
Surfaces we seal
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- External wall and movement joints
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.

FAQs: Newton of Falkland
Will you take on a block within reach of Ladybank 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.
Is Newton of Falkland too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes, that’s exactly who this service is for. Buildings are scheduled in turn so you can plan around it.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
