How we handle mastic sealing in Portknockie
Before work starts, most agents and landlords want the documents in order. 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. We work on balcony and threshold joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the failures we’re asked to look at most are complaints coming in block by block and draught complaints from residents or tenants. Most enquiries from Portknockie start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Travel to smaller places like Portknockie is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photographs for a quote covering the batch.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. It’s a plain promise: if the work we did fails within twelve months, we return to fix it.

Common questions from Portknockie clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Portknockie portfolio?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Can being near the sea in Portknockie affect the sealant we need?
It can. Wind-driven rain and, closer to the shore, salt air are harder on external joints. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
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.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so there are no surprises.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, since fresh sealant will not bond reliably to aged material.

Different surfaces, different methods
Planned maintenance
How long mastic lasts depends on exposure, movement and the product used. Regular inspection is the best way to plan resealing.
External movement joints
Brickwork, blockwork and panel joints let a building move. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Looking after the joints
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
How a job runs
At the end of each section, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint, ready for your sign-off. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. Tell us who will meet us and how to get in at your building near Portknockie. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.

Building owners, agents and FMs in Portknockie
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients come to us directly as well. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
We work for building owners and managing agents on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios around Portknockie. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
How the quote is worked out
Each job is priced on its own details. The things that drive the figure:
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- How much existing material needs removing
- Distance, for remote addresses
A quote for mastic joints depends on quantities, condition and access, and any specification that applies. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- When you need the work done
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
Honest limits
A few problems need another trade or a different fix, and we say so rather than covering them up:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

Portknockie lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do. The east of Scotland, where Portknockie is, gets less rain than the west. Cold mornings still limit when outside mastic can go on. Programmes allow for that
Around Portknockie, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go. Trustees of buildings like Church Of Scotland can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
