Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Old Struan
Different joints need different sealants. Low-modulus neutral-cure silicone suits many window perimeters and external movement joints, while hybrid polymer sealants grip many materials and are often paintable, and colours are confirmed for whichever product is used. If you have brittle perimeter mastic across a building and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can help, whatever the surface. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Old Struan tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Travel to smaller places like Old Struan is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Mastic sealing in Old Struan: the local picture
The east of Scotland, where Old Struan is, gets less rain than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. We plan block programmes with some give for it
If you look after a block within reach of Blair Atholl station, 3.9 miles to the east of Old Struan, frame and balcony mastic can be renewed on one programme. Trustees of buildings like Struan Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Old Struan is about 26 miles north-west of Blairgowrie and Rattray, in Perth and Kinross.

Nearby places we also cover include Old Blair (4 miles east), Bridge of Tilt (4 miles east), Blair Atholl (4 miles east), Trinafour (5 miles west) and Moulin (9 miles east) for mastic joints.

Why act early in Old Struan
Resealing ahead of leaks keeps it to a maintenance task. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows, and the complaints come with it. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Old Struan. Send photographs and we’ll quote for everything together.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.

Should maintenance staff do it?
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Share the asbestos register when you send details
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone normally can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.

Cost factors for mastic joints
We price every job individually. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Specialist products, such as fire-rated or hygienic sealants
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
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 fixed quote.
Details that help us quote
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- What the building is and how it’s used
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Your programme or deadline

The quickest route to a quote is a few photos and the site postcode. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
On site: what to expect
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Any old material is cut back to clean, sound faces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Old Struan is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Before we start on site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Point out parking and an unloading spot

Advice
Questions we’re asked in Old Struan
Is Old Struan off your patch?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Old Struan?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Who decides which product is used?
The specification comes first, if there is one. If there isn’t one, it comes down to the joint: how much it moves, what it bonds to and whether it’s wet, trafficked or fire-rated.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Will you just go over the old 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.
How long before the joints can be used?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
What sealant work can’t fix
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
