Mastic sealing in Stratherrick, done properly
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. If you have draught complaints from residents or tenants and estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out, we can put it right, on balcony and threshold joints, external wall and movement joints and communal entrances and stairwells alike. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: on jobs in Stratherrick, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Travel to smaller places like Stratherrick is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. Our workmanship is backed for 12 months, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Stratherrick
Is Stratherrick too small for you to travel to?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We work across every Scottish council area. Send photos and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Stratherrick?
We will 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.
Can weather delay the job?
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. Internal work is rarely affected.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. Include it with the drawings when you ask for a quote, and the quote will be based on it.
How much does the work cost?
Every job gets its own fixed quote. To get one, call 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested, and the duty to manage asbestos sits with the dutyholder.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Stratherrick
Previous repairs often sealed new mastic over old. New sealant won’t grip failed sealant and the repair soon fails.
Site and facilities staff are often the first to spot these:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Estate-wide sealant that is simply worn out
- Water getting in round frames after rain
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
Near Stratherrick, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing.
What your quote should include
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- How they handle RAMS and site documents
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Health and safety accreditation such as CHAS
Why it’s worth doing now in Stratherrick
Leaving failed external joints lets water reach the structure behind. Damp patches, stained plaster and decorating claims can follow and those cost far more to put right. Around smaller places like Stratherrick, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why appoint us

From enquiry to sign-off
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before the next one starts. For work around Stratherrick, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
Protect entrance and corridor joints from knocks where possible. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What affects the price in Stratherrick
There’s no standard rate for sealant work, because every site is different. What we look at:
- How accessible the joints are
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- How much existing material needs removing
The price depends on how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
What we need to price the job
It doesn’t need to be a full survey. A few details are enough to get going:
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Any specification or named product
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Drawings or a marked-up plan, if available
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints are often enough for a fixed quote. If the job needs a look first, we’ll arrange a site visit.
