Mastic sealing for businesses in Strathyre
Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
After the work
Keep the joints in good shape with a few simple steps:
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Mastic fails gradually, then all at once in a wet spell. Acting at the first signs keeps it a straightforward reseal and the complaints that come with it.
Mastic sealing for commercial buildings in Strathyre
In buildings from before 2000, some old mastics contain asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey, and work stops for testing if there’s any doubt. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. We work on external wall and movement joints, window and door perimeters on blocks and balcony and threshold joints, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are draught complaints from residents or tenants and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate. For commercial sealant work in Strathyre, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
For buildings around Strathyre, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: preparation, application and finish. It doesn’t extend to damage, other trades’ later work or movement the joint was never designed to take.

Near Strathyre, we review each elevation first so the quote covers what actually needs doing. For owners and agents with buildings in or around Strathyre, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, the work is phased so only one area is out of use at a time. Each area is protected, prepared and sealed, then reopened once the sealant allows before we move to the next. For a building near Strathyre, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We’ll confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- We inspect each building and record the joints that have failed.
- The quote is fixed and split as suits you.
- We agree the programme and dates with you.
- Old mastic is removed and the joint faces prepared.
- New sealant goes in with backing rod and primer where needed.
- We check the finished work and confirm the guarantee.
Preparing the site
- Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
Ask for a quote
Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. Smaller jobs need nothing more than photographs and a few notes.

Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. New sealant won’t cure:
- Failed window or door frames, which need a window contractor
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
If you’re not sure, just call the office on 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Strathyre: questions and answers
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Strathyre?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
What site paperwork comes with a job in Strathyre?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Every block is different. We agree access with you at quote stage so the fixed quote reflects it.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, and we confirm it before leaving site.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long will the new sealant last?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Should maintenance staff do it?
For most general trades, sealant is a sideline. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, because the whole bead must be removed and the faces cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
