Your questions answered
Is Straiton off your patch?
No. Places such as Straiton are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you price a mastic programme across our Straiton portfolio?
Yes. Portfolio-wide programmes are a regular request. Send the addresses and photographs and we will give a fixed quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and we’ll price the work to it.
How many days will you need on site?
The duration is planned around your programme and the access we’re given. You’ll have an expected duration with the quote.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
How do you handle work on occupied blocks?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. If any flats or units need access, we’ll tell you in advance so you can arrange it with occupiers.
How soon can the area be used again?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
About our mastic sealing in Straiton
Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal kitchens and washrooms, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are damp patches beside frames and repeated reactive repairs to the same buildings. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Straiton? We have been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Around Straiton, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Our 12-month guarantee is about workmanship, not wear and tear. Sealant wears with time, and movement, weather, cleaning and use decide how fast, so we’re clear about what is covered before work starts.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Blocks have a mix of frame materials, and the product is matched to the frame material and the masonry. Colours are confirmed for the product used.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Commercial buildings have mastic at shopfronts, entrances and external joints. A planned programme suits multi-building portfolios.
For managing agents and facilities managers
When you manage a building on behalf of an owner, clear figures and clear communication matter. We quote a fixed sum, confirm the scope and walk the finished work with you or your representative.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Blocks and managed buildings in Straiton
The west of Scotland, where Straiton is, gets more rain than the east. Exposed elevations on blocks take a soaking and their mastic shows it. Programmes allow for wet days.
Churches, halls and community buildings such as Straiton Parish Church are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Straiton, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Site staff or a sealant specialist?
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
What affects the price in Straiton
The price varies from site to site. It mainly depends on:
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Location, for remote and island sites
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Access and working height
We don’t publish prices, since every building and every scope is different. Call for a quote.
Before you send an enquiry
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The type of building and who uses it
- Asbestos survey details if the building is older
- Clear photos of the problem areas
- The site address and postcode
Send us photos, drawings or a joint schedule are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.
Why it’s worth doing now in Straiton
Sealing over failed mastic looks tidy for a while. It doesn’t bond and normally fails within a short time. Cutting out and resealing properly does it once. Renewing every failing joint on one visit is the sensible approach for a place like Straiton. Photos of each area help us quote the whole job.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: easy-to-reach joints are quicker than those that need equipment to get to. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
