Mastic sealing in Strone
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
What sets the cost
Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, because every site is different. What we look at:
- The total length or number of joints
- How much existing material needs removing
- Whether the work must be split into stages
- The site’s rules and procedures
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Clear photographs of the problem areas
- The type of building and who uses it
- The product your specification calls for
A handful of photos and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Send them through the quote form, or give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form to discuss it first.
How we handle mastic sealing in Strone
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Strone carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have water getting in round frames after rain and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, we can put it right, whatever the surface. Sealant applicators who only do sealant are a different proposition from a general trade with a gun in the van: in Strone, that means joint design, primers and backing rod as standard.
Around Strone, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Planned mastic for Strone portfolios
With the shore within about 1 mile, Strone counts as a coastal location. On buildings near the shore, the side facing the weather usually needs its mastic renewed first; plan inspections around that. Strone is in the west of Scotland, the wetter side of the country. The most exposed elevations need checking most often. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Trustees of buildings like Strone Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list. If your remit includes a building such as Dunoon Grammar School, frame and door mastic can be programmed for the holidays.
Strone is about 6 miles north-west of Greenock, in Argyll and Bute. Strone sits inside our coverage and the rest of Argyll and Bute, with the same fixed quotes and 12-month guarantee as everywhere else. Strone is one of 124 places in Argyll and Bute on our list. Glasgow is covered too, some 26 miles away.
Work on mastic joints is covered throughout PA23, whatever the building. Among the streets we cover are High Road, Shore Road and Westfield. If your building is just outside Strone, we cover Hunters Quay (1 mile south), Sandbank (1 mile west), Kilmun (2 miles north-west), Kirn (2 miles south) and Dunoon (2 miles south). Bigger towns within reach include Helensburgh (7 miles east), Rothesay (12 miles south-west), Cardross (10 miles east), Rhu (5 miles north-east), Garelochhead (7 miles north-east) and Port Bannatyne (11 miles south-west). Remote and island addresses take more planning, from travel and ferries to the weather, so mention the location when you ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form.

Surface by surface
Estate-wide resealing programmes
Priority order can follow condition, complaints or your maintenance plan. Quotes can be per block or for the full programme.
Tenement and older buildings
Some old mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos and the register is checked before anything is disturbed. If it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
On site: what to expect
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, primer goes on where the manufacturer specifies it, and each bead is tooled to a neat concave finish. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Strone is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. External joints need a dry spell as well.
- A building-by-building inspection lists the failed joints.
- You get a fixed quote, per block or for the whole programme.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Have the specification and drawings to hand
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Warn occupants and staff about the work
Quotes
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
Commercial clients in Strone
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units come to us directly as well. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Strone: questions and answers
Can you quote for a block close to Gourock station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. We work to your notice and access arrangements.
Is Strone off your patch?
Not at all. Strone is within our area. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photographs up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
Will you just go over the old sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.
How long does a typical visit take?
It depends on the scope, though a typical visit usually takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.
Can you work to our specification?
Yes. The specification and the manufacturer’s installation guidance are what we work to, and any queries are raised before we start.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place and we will confirm the approach in the quote.
