What we can’t put right

- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over and we’ll tell you honestly.
What we seal
- Window and door perimeters on blocks

We’re a Constructionline member and CHAS accredited, and we carry public liability insurance. If you are dealing with occupiers reporting cold air round windows and cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block, we can put it right.

Different surfaces, different methods
External movement joints
External movement joints take up expansion and contraction. Failed sealant in a movement joint lets water in.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Where retail and residential share a building the programme has to suit everyone. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
From enquiry to sign-off
When we get to site, we report to your site contact and complete whatever induction the building runs. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work usually takes a day or two for a single block, longer for an estate programme. Travel to smaller Scottish places like South Alloa is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs 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.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- 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.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Arrange parking or a loading space
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
Getting a fixed quote
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step is to ring 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.

Blocks and managed buildings in South Alloa
With the shore within about 1 mile, South Alloa counts as a coastal location. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. South Alloa is on Scotland’s drier eastern side. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Older community buildings, St. Mungo's Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies. Buildings close to stations like Alloa station (to the north-east of South Alloa) are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.
