How we handle mastic sealing in Scone
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. Many prefer a planned programme to one-off visits, with each block quoted and scheduled in turn. If you have damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors and damp patches beside frames, we can help, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Scone, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Scone is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

Do you need mastic sealing in Scone?
The edges of the material itself sometimes break away, such as crumbling render, brick arrises or frame edges. We’ll tell you if the joint edges need repairing before resealing.
Typical triggers for a call:
- Repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings
- Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Worn sealant at communal door frames
Buildings close to stations like Perth station (2.4 miles south-west of Scone) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.
What your quote should include
- How they’ll work around occupants
- How joint depth will be controlled
- How the existing material will be dealt with
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
Leave it or put it right?
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Resealing early avoids that.
Cost follows what’s involved: removing old material, preparing the joints, the product, the access and how the work is phased. Call for a fixed quote.

When it isn’t the sealant

- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
If in doubt, call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What else we do in Scone
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint.
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
On site: what to expect
On arrival, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before anything is cut or cleaned, with the work itself usually taking a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. For a building near Scone, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Explain the parking and delivery arrangements
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. Where a site visit makes more sense, we’ll arrange one.

FAQs: Scone
Can you work in a care home near Scone with residents in?
Yes. Care settings are planned area by area, at times agreed with the home. Any site rules, from signing in to infection control, are agreed before we start.
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Perth station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
How soon can the area be used again?
We’ll confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, but the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Larger or phased jobs take longer, and we will give you a timescale with the quote.
