Advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Paperwork matters too. 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.
When to call us in Spittalfield
UV and rain age external sealant. The surface chalks, the body stiffens and cracks appear most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Most enquiries start with one or more of the following:
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Draughts at frames across a block
- Complaints coming in block by block
Owners near Spittalfield can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme.
Before you book anyone
- How long is the guarantee, and what does it include?
- Whether their applicators hold CSCS cards
- Will RAMS and insurance details be available?
- Their approach to joint depth and backing
Looking after the joints
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
How the quote is worked out
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Any access equipment needed
- Site requirements such as inductions and permits
- Working within restricted access windows
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.
What to include in your enquiry
For an accurate fixed quote, we need to understand the site. Useful things to include:
- When you need the work done
- Any specification or named product
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
A good quote starts with a clear picture: the joints involved, quantities, access and the product called for. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.

Your questions answered
Is a smaller place like Spittalfield outside your area?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Spittalfield?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Does the weather affect the 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. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
How soon can the area be used again?
Curing time varies by product, and we confirm it on the day, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
How do you reach windows on upper floors?
It depends on the building. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Our credentials include CHAS, Constructionline and public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
