Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Scourie More
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before any old sealant is cut out, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. Removing asbestos-containing material isn’t something we do. If you’re dealing with complaints coming in block by block and movement joints with sealant missing, we can help. Most enquiries from Scourie More start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Scourie More, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Every job is signed off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

Doing it in-house
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What we can’t put right
Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

How a job runs
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: tape along each joint edge and covers over finishes, stock and equipment close by. The work itself usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. For work around Scourie More, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photos and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Failed sealant is removed and the faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Before we start on site
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Confirm the product named in the specification

Questions we are asked in Scourie More
Is Scourie More too small for you to travel to?
Not at all. Scourie More is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Does a coastal location like Scourie More affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. We check the specified product suits the exposure and pay close attention to preparation.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
It can, for external work. Wet joints and cold, damp or frosty conditions stop the sealant bonding properly, so we watch the forecast and rearrange outside work if we have to. Internal work is far less affected.
How long does a typical visit take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Is any job too small?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Photos and a description are enough to start.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs usually get a visit.
Maintenance after handover
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Have the asbestos survey to hand for older buildings
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
One failed perimeter typically means others on the same building are close, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.
For managing agents and facilities managers
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
Hospitality, education, healthcare, office and retail clients book us directly too. The work is planned around how the building runs, so the building keeps working while we do.
