What the job involves on each surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
An estate of similar buildings suits a rolling programme. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
Mastic sealing in Strathore, done properly
There isn’t one mastic for every joint on a building. Window perimeters and external joints often take a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, and MS polymer sealants stick well to many substrates and often take paint. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product. If you have movement joints with sealant missing and worn sealant at communal door frames, we can help. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, the work in Strathore is the same: the right product in a properly prepared joint.
Outside mastic in Scotland needs dry joints and the right temperature, so work around Strathore is planned with the forecast. We agree a window with some flexibility.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Diagnose, treat, sign off
Our CSCS-carded applicators arrive with the sealants, primers and backing rod the job calls for. Joint faces are cleaned back to sound, dry surfaces, the manufacturer’s primer is applied where it’s called for, and the sealant is tooled off neatly. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Strathore is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, so photos, sizes and a full list matter. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- Dates and areas are agreed so occupiers can be told.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- Each building is checked and signed off with the 12-month guarantee.
Getting the site ready
- Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached

Cost factors for mastic joints
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Removal of failed or old sealant
A quote for mastic joints depends on how many there are, their condition and the access, plus any specification you’re working to. Call for a quote.
Sending details for a quote
However big the job, these details speed things up:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- Any specification or named product
- Access details, including height
Let us know the site, the scope and your timescale, and we’ll put a fixed quote together. To get it moving, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.
When to bring in a specialist
Using site staff can make sense for a small touch-up, but anything bigger is another matter: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Honest limits
Our job is the joint, not everything around it. Sealant alone won’t deal with:
- Old mastic suspected of containing asbestos, which must be tested and dealt with by a specialist first
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
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.

Questions we’re asked in Strathore
Do you cover business parks and estates near Strathore, such as Southfield Industrial Estate?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Strathore, Southfield Industrial Estate among them, are all within reach. Photos and a short description are enough for a first look.
Will you take on a block within reach of Glenrothes with Thornton station?
Yes, we work for agents, landlords and housing associations with blocks of every size. Send the address, photos of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we will give a fixed quote.
When is resealing likely to be due?
Nobody can honestly give a figure in years, since movement, weather, cleaning and use all affect it. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
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.
When can the area be used after sealing?
We will confirm how long the chosen product needs to cure, and flag anything to keep off until it has cured.
Which sealant will you use?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.

Looking after the joints
After handover, these steps help:
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Track which buildings were done and when
Encourage occupiers to report water or draughts at frames. A quick report keeps a small repair small.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
