How we handle mastic sealing in Spittal of Glenshee
We work for building owners, landlords with commercial or block portfolios, managing agents and housing associations. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. If you are dealing with no planned programme for sealant and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, we can help, on communal entrances and stairwells, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms alike. Whoever orders the work in Spittal of Glenshee, the brief is typically the same: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.
For buildings around Spittal of Glenshee, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Common questions from Spittal of Glenshee clients
Is Spittal of Glenshee too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Spittal of Glenshee are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Spittal of Glenshee?
We’ll confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Do you work to architects’ specifications?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we will price the work to it.
Which sealant will you use?
Where there’s a specification, we use the product it names. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
How long does a typical visit take?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we are given. We will give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
Will you come and look before quoting?
That depends on the size and complexity of the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photos and measurements, and bigger or more complex jobs normally get a visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
After the work
Regular inspection catches problems early. In particular:
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
Keep records of when each building was resealed. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Early resealing is far simpler than repairs inside.
On site: what to expect
Site rules come first: signing in, inductions and any permit to work. Once we’re cleared to begin, the joints are worked through in the order agreed with your site contact, and each area is checked before we leave it. Where we can, we combine work around Spittal of Glenshee with other jobs nearby, to make the most of each trip. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
Getting the site ready
- Flag any permit to work we will need
- For older buildings, check the asbestos register before work
- Make sure the joints can be reached
Request a quote
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule and a fixed quote comes back to you. Where a site visit makes more sense, we will arrange one.
Advice
What sets the cost
To price the job, we consider:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
- Travel to remote or island sites
- Removal of failed or old sealant
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: scope, access, product and programme. Call for a quote, and you will have a fixed figure to work with.
Before you send an enquiry
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Where the site is, with the postcode
We quote a fixed sum against the scope you give us, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To ask for one, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Surface by surface
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos, so we check the asbestos register or survey first. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Communal areas
We keep entrances and stairs open throughout. We work in sections so access is never blocked.
Blocks and managed buildings in Spittal of Glenshee

If you are responsible for a building such as Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property. Historic properties like Dirnanean House (to the south-west of Spittal of Glenshee) show the age of some local stock, where frame mastic must suit soft brick or stone.

When something else is needed

- Glazing that needs replacing
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
