How we handle mastic sealing in Raploch
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 are dealing with cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can help, on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and window and door perimeters on blocks alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Raploch first comes to us: we look at the rest while we are there and tell you what we find.
In smaller Scottish places like Raploch, managed property is mostly small blocks, sheltered housing, hotels and community buildings. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Substrate edges that need repairing first

What guarantee do you give on resealing?

Does the weather affect the work?
It can, for external work. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
