Related advice
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: 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.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: sealing over old material, sealing onto damp or dusty surfaces, or a product that can’t take the movement.
Different surfaces, different methods
Communal areas
Communal entrances, stairwells and corridors have joints at door frames, screens, skirting and floor edges. Tidy, sound joints keep them looking cared for.
Window and door perimeters on blocks
On most blocks, the frame-to-wall joint is where failure shows first. Old perimeter mastic is removed, the joint prepared and new sealant tooled in.
Why deal with it now?
Adding sealant to cyclical maintenance is an easy win. Leaving it until there’s a leak turns it into reactive work with less control over timing. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Strathmartine before they leak.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.

Frames, entrances and external joints in Strathmartine
Strathmartine is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty. Block programmes are built with that in mind
With historic buildings such as Camperdown House (2.1 miles south-west of Strathmartine) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Strathmartine should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry. If you own or manage units on a site such as Dovercourt Commercial Park, 1.5 miles to the south of Strathmartine, failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. For a school such as Baldragon Academy, perimeter mastic on windows and doors is a holiday job.

Maintenance after handover
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Keep a record of when each building was resealed
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Plan resealing building by building rather than complaint by complaint
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Damage at low level is the most common reason communal joints fail early.
Joints on a building age together, so it pays to look at the whole elevation. Doing them together saves going back again and again.

Strathmartine: questions and answers
Does your area include sites such as Dovercourt Commercial Park, near Strathmartine?
Yes. Our area takes in Strathmartine and its surroundings, with estates and business parks such as Dovercourt Commercial Park included. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Is Strathmartine too far out for you?
Not at all. Strathmartine is within our area. We work across every Scottish council area. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
When can the area be used after sealing?
The product and site conditions decide that. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you do block-wide mastic programmes?
Yes. We survey and price each building, then work through them in order, and the programme can start with the worst.
Can you send RAMS and CSCS details before starting?
We are CHAS accredited, a Constructionline member and carry public liability insurance. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Inside work is seldom held up.
How do I request a quote?
There are four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. The first step only needs photos and a postcode.
