Cost factors for mastic joints
To price the job, we consider:
- Whether old sealant has to be cut out first
- Quantities, in metres or numbers
- How accessible the joints are
- The product specified
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site rules also count.
Before you send an enquiry
A few photographs plus some basic facts will normally do. It helps to include:
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Anything awkward about access or site hours
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form.
About our mastic sealing in Strichen
Older blocks and commercial buildings can have mastic that contains asbestos. Before we disturb it, we ask to see the asbestos register or survey and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Most enquiries involve a mix of products and colours from past repairs and occupiers reporting cold air round windows, on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and window and door perimeters on blocks. Looking for mastic applicators who cover Strichen? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.

FAQs: Strichen
Is Strichen too far out for you?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
What paperwork can you provide for a job in Strichen?
Whatever your site asks for, from RAMS to CSCS details, is confirmed when we quote. We’re CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. Our applicators hold CSCS cards, as many construction sites ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, including public liability cover.
Do you work with property factors and landlords?
Yes. Managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios are our main clients for this work, and we quote building by building or as a programme.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
In older buildings, old mastic can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register or survey before disturbing it and suspect material is tested first.

- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Misted or failed double-glazed units
If in doubt, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Related advice
Do you need mastic sealing in Strichen?
Buildings move with temperature and moisture, and every joint has to stretch and squeeze with them. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits long before it should.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Communal area joints that look neglected
- Complaints coming in block by block
If you’re responsible for a building such as All Saints' Episcopal Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.
What your quote should include
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
After the work
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. Specifically:
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
- Look at the sunniest and most exposed elevations first
- Group repairs into a planned programme
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.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
