Send drawings, photos or a joint schedule, or tell us about the site, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
How we handle mastic sealing in Pencaitland
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on window and door perimeters on blocks, shopfronts below residential blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the failures we are asked to look at most are estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out and communal area joints that look neglected. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Pencaitland from the first photos to the final walk-round, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
Travel to smaller places like Pencaitland is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Pencaitland
Is Pencaitland too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
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’ll quote and plan to suit.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
How long does a job like this take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
