Mastic sealing in Ruthvenfield
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. If you’re dealing with open joints in brickwork or panels and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Whoever orders the work in Ruthvenfield, the brief is normally the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Ruthvenfield, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What happens if it’s left?
A bead run over old mastic can look like a repair. It won’t grip the old sealant and soon comes away. Full removal and proper preparation is what lasts. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Ruthvenfield, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, such as cutting out, priming or new backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Looking after the joints
Sealant joints are maintenance items, and how long they last depends on how they’re treated. Our advice:
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Track which buildings were done and when
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over.
Planned resealing is easier to budget than emergency repairs. A programme can start with the worst buildings and work down the list.
From enquiry to sign-off
Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked, ready for your sign-off. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. Jobs near Ruthvenfield are often grouped with others in the same area. Tell us how flexible your dates are.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we’ll be in
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Arrange parking or a loading space

What we are called out for in Ruthvenfield
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. A joint that was too narrow, too thin or the wrong product can’t cope long before it should.
These are often picked up first by site or facilities staff:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damp patches beside frames
- No planned programme for sealant
For a school such as Bertha Park High School, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.
