Mastic sealing for Tannadice sites
Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Common problems we fix in Tannadice
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 long before it should.
Typical triggers for a call:
- No planned programme for sealant
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
- Draught complaints from residents or tenants
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Tannadice, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Questions to ask before you book
- Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
- What site paperwork they can supply
- Their public liability cover
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
Mastic sealing in Tannadice, done properly
Managing agents and housing associations usually need paperwork before anyone starts. Tell us what site paperwork you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with public liability insurance. The enquiries we see most involve movement joints with sealant missing and draught complaints from residents or tenants, on external wall and movement joints, shopfronts below residential blocks and communal entrances and stairwells. Most enquiries from Tannadice start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Around Tannadice, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
Building owners and contractors get the same cover: a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship. It doesn’t extend to damage, faults in the building or work by others, and we’re upfront about that.

Mastic sealing in Tannadice: the local picture
Tannadice is in the east of Scotland, which is drier than the west. External mastic still needs a dry joint and the right temperature, and winter mornings can be frosty.
Older community buildings, Parish Church And Old Parish Church among them, often have frames of mixed ages whose mastic varies.
Tannadice is about 5 miles north of Forfar, in Angus. Any commercial site in Tannadice is covered. Across Angus, 65 places are covered, Tannadice among them. We also cover Dundee, around 17 miles from Tannadice.

Tannadice: questions and answers
Which documents can you supply for work in Tannadice?
We will confirm the paperwork you need, such as RAMS, our insurance certificate and CSCS details, with the quote. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, with £5m public liability insurance and CSCS-carded applicators.
Is Tannadice too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Tannadice are covered as much as the big towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
Access is discussed and agreed before the quote is fixed. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Does weather matter for sealant work?
Outside, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so damp, frosty or very cold days can stop external work. Internal work is rarely affected.
Will you quote for a small job?
We quote for single jobs as well as large packages and programmes. Send details for a fixed quote.
Will your applicators have CSCS cards?
Yes. We use CSCS-carded applicators.
Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are where general trades tend to cut corners.
There’s also the paperwork. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
When something else is needed
We seal joints; we don’t mend everything behind them. On its own, sealant can’t deal with:
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

On site: what to expect
Working in a building that stays open takes some planning. The work area is signed and kept contained, keep walkways clear and work section by section so the rest of the building stays in use. Where we can, we combine work around Tannadice with other jobs nearby. Let us know if your dates have any give.
- Each block or building is walked and the failed joints recorded with the likely cause.
- A fixed quote follows, split by block or building if that suits you.
- The sequence and the dates are fixed with you, giving you what you need to notify occupiers.
- Failed mastic is removed and the faces taken back to sound, dry material.
- Backing rod and primer go in as the joint requires, then the new bead is placed and tooled.
- Finished joints are looked over and the 12-month guarantee confirmed.
What we need from you

- Tell us which areas need to stay in use

Advice
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
Window and door perimeters are where most mastic failure shows. We remove the failed mastic, prepare the faces, add backing rod if the joint is deep and reseal.
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Tenants in commercial buildings need to keep trading, so we plan around them.
