Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Why act early in Stronord
Draughts round window perimeters cost occupiers comfort, and they often blame the windows. Resealing the perimeters is often the simpler fix where the frames themselves are sound. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, so it’s worth renewing joints around Stronord before they leak.
The product called for affects the cost, and so does the preparation, from cutting out to priming and backing rod. Access, phasing and site requirements come into it too.

Mastic sealing in Stronord, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Stronord and across Dumfries and Galloway, the process is the same: you send details, we return a fixed quote, the joints are resealed and the 12-month guarantee follows. Addresses, photos of typical joints and a rough idea of quantities let us give a quick quote, and site visits can be arranged. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells, and the failures we are asked to look at most are occupiers reporting cold air round windows and patchy repairs in mismatched sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Stronord from the first photos to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Around smaller places such as Stronord, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Exposed walls take Scottish weather hard, and frame mastic shows it first.
Work we carry out comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we’ll arrange a return visit.

Honest limits
A proper diagnosis includes knowing what sealant can’t do. You’ll hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Leaks through the frame itself rather than the perimeter
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Balcony and threshold joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- External wall and movement joints
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
- Communal entrances and stairwells
Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Keep bins and bikes away from communal door frames
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Encourage occupiers to report problems at frames
- Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. It helps plan the next round and gives you a history.
Leaks at window perimeters spoil finishes and can affect frames. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Should maintenance staff do it?
General builders and handymen seal joints, but it isn’t their main trade. A specialist prepares properly, controls joint depth and picks a product with the right movement class, which is what makes a joint last.
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Common questions from Stronord clients
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Stronord?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is a smaller place like Stronord outside your area?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. You will have an expected duration with the quote.
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.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Do you supply RAMS and insurance details?
Let us know your requirements: tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member.
What if the old mastic contains asbestos?
Asbestos removal isn’t part of our work. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
From enquiry to sign-off
Inspect, seal, sign off: every visit follows that pattern. First comes an inspection and agreement on scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. For a building near Stronord, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- We send a fixed quote that sets out the joints, the products and the programme.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.

What else we do in Stronord
What we’re called out for in Stronord
Frames, panels and masonry expand and contract through the year, and the sealant takes up that movement. If the joint or the product wasn’t suited to the movement, it splits and fails early.
If one of these sounds familiar, it’s time for a closer look:
- Patchy repairs in mismatched sealant
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Failed external movement joints
- Draughts at frames across a block
Wherever your building is in or near Stronord, we look at the whole elevation before quoting, so you know what needs doing now.
What to look for in a quote
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- Proof of insurance
