Mastic sealing in Oakbank

For documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. Site teams most often ask us about occupiers reporting cold air round windows and open joints in brickwork or panels, across communal kitchens and washrooms, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints.

Why act early in Oakbank
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around Oakbank before they leak.
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, plus any specification you are working to. Ask us for a fixed quote.
Why appoint us
- Fixed quotes based on photographs, drawings or a visit

Commercial clients in Oakbank
Blocks and communal areas make up much of the work for housing associations and agents. We phase the work so people keep access, and each stage is agreed with your contact.
For main contractors, we work as the sealant subcontractor. Programme, specification and site rules come first, with CSCS-carded applicators on site.
Maintenance after handover
A few simple habits keep the new joints working:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
How the quote is worked out
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Location, for remote and island sites
- The product specified
- How much there is to seal
- Working within restricted access windows
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
What we need to price the job
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The type of building and who uses it
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
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 email a schedule or drawings.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. New sealant won’t cure:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Glazing that needs replacing
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms

The work itself normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go.
