Our process
In a busy building, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near St Fillans, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
- The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
- We strip out the old sealant.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- Buildings are completed in turn.
Preparing the site
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
About our mastic sealing in St Fillans
On a residential block, the work happens around people’s lives. The sequence, the areas and the dates are settled with you, giving you what you need to notify residents. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use while we work. The enquiries we see most involve window mastic that has split and shrunk and failed external movement joints, on shopfronts below residential blocks, balcony and threshold joints and communal kitchens and washrooms. Most enquiries from St Fillans start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around St Fillans, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photographs lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: preparation, application and finish. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’re upfront when that’s the case. It won’t fix:
- Substrate edges that need repairing first
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
If in doubt, call the office on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Why act early in St Fillans
Reacting to every complaint means sending someone out block by block. A planned programme treats each building once and is simpler to manage and budget. Exposed buildings in Scotland take a lot of weather, so it’s worth renewing joints around St Fillans before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, as does the preparation each joint needs. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Share your contractor requirements early
- Check the asbestos register before any old mastic is disturbed
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Non-paintable silicone shouldn’t be painted over unless told otherwise.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
Common questions from St Fillans clients
Is St Fillans too small for you to travel to?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
What site paperwork comes with a job in St Fillans?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. Mastic Doctor is fully insured, public liability included.
How much does the work cost?
Each job is quoted on its own details. For yours, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you need to see the site first?
It depends on the job. Straightforward work can often be priced from photographs and measurements, while larger or less clear jobs get a site visit first.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
Site maintenance staff can often handle a short internal joint. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.
Quoting for work in St Fillans
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we take into account:
- The product specified
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
- How much existing material needs removing
Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.
What to include in your enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- The site address and postcode
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- The type of building and who uses it
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
