Looking after the joints
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Group repairs into a planned programme
- Share your contractor requirements early
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.
Failed mastic often goes unnoticed until heavy rain finds it. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and saves internal repairs.
On site: what to expect
We bring the products specified for the job, along with primers and backing rod. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. For a building near St John's Town of Dalry, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.

Honest limits
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. We’ll tell you if the real problem is one of these:
- Water coming in from the roof or rainwater goods
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you are not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

- Balcony and threshold joints
- Communal entrances and stairwells

Doing it in-house
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.
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist brings correct preparation, depth control with backing rod and a product suited to that particular joint, which is what makes a joint last.

St John's Town of Dalry: questions and answers
Will you price a mastic programme across our St John's Town of Dalry portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is St John's Town of Dalry off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We’re CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. For specific documents, tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts and suspect material is tested first.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and any queries are raised before we start.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. Sealing over old material is one of the classic causes of early joint failure, so everything comes out first.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. Sealant needs a dry joint and a temperature within the product’s range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
