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 will confirm with the quote.

We work on external wall and movement joints, communal entrances and stairwells and balcony and threshold joints, and what we are called in for most is draught complaints from residents or tenants and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate.

Surface by surface
Planned maintenance
Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and keeps budgets predictable.
Tenement and older buildings
Older mastic can contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
What sealant work can’t fix
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we are upfront when that’s the case. These need a different solution:
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
What we seal
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Shopfronts below residential blocks

FAQs: Rothienorman
Is Rothienorman too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Rothienorman are covered as much as the big towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Rothienorman?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.
What paperwork can you provide?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
How long before the joints can be used?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Diagnose, treat, sign off
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Floors, finishes and fittings next to the joints are covered before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For work around Rothienorman, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- We remove the old mastic completely and clean the joint faces back.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
Before we start on site
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Flag any permit to work we will need

How the quote is worked out
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- Phasing around occupants
- Which sealant the job calls for
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Access and working height
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
What we need to price the job
We can often quote from photographs and a few details. Please tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Pricing a project or setting a maintenance budget? We’ll quote against your scope and drawings you can plan around. If you have questions first, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
What we are called out for in Rothienorman
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- Brittle perimeter mastic across a building
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Damp patches beside frames
- Draughts at frames across a block
Around Rothienorman, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.
What to look for in a quote
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
