Mastic sealing in Tealing

Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.

Mastic sealing in Tealing, done properly

For blocks and buildings in Tealing and across Angus, 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. Site teams most often ask us about open joints in brickwork or panels and damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors, on communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Tealing tend to want the same three things: a fixed quote, no surprises on site and a 12-month guarantee behind the result.

Travel to smaller places like Tealing is planned so several buildings can be done on one trip. Send addresses and photos for a quote covering the batch.

We sign every job off with a 12-month guarantee. The promise is simple: if our work fails within that year, we put it right.

When to call us in Tealing

UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.

Typical triggers for a call:

  • Complaints coming in block by block
  • Movement joints with sealant missing
  • Communal area joints that look neglected
  • Mastic failing across several blocks on an estate

Churches, halls and community buildings such as Tealing Parish Church And Churchyard are looked after by trustees and committees like any other owner, and their frames, doors and external joints need mastic renewed in time.

Before you book anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Their plan for phasing and protecting the area
  • What site paperwork they can supply
  • How joint depth will be controlled

Our contractor checklist

From enquiry to sign-off

Before we leave any area, the masking comes off, the area is cleaned and every joint is checked. If an area should be left alone while the sealant cures, we say how long and put signs out. For work around Tealing, we aim for one trip, so photographs, sizes and a full list matter. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.

  1. We check the asbestos register for older buildings and look at the joints.
  2. The products and programme are set out in a fixed quote.
  3. We strip out the old sealant.
  4. The joints are prepared and resealed with the right product.
  5. We finish each building before moving to the next.

What we need from you

  • Tell staff and tenants when we will be in
  • Point out parking and an unloading spot
  • Confirm the product named in the specification

Block-wide mastic in Tealing

Tealing 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. Programmes allow for that

If you own or manage units on a site such as Claverhouse Industrial Park (3 miles south of Tealing), failed mastic on frames, door surrounds and external joints can be dealt with unit by unit. Older buildings near Tealing, from historic houses such as Camperdown House (4.6 miles south-west of Tealing) to more modest stock, need compatible products when frames are resealed.

Tealing is about 4 miles north of Dundee, in Angus. Commercial clients in Tealing use us for work on mastic joints, as part of our coverage of Angus. Tealing is one of 65 places we cover in Angus.

We also cover Inveraldie (1 mile south-east), Barns of Claverhouse (2 miles south), Strathmartine (3 miles south-west), Bridgefoot (3 miles south-west) and Claverhouse (3 miles south).

After the work

Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:

  • Start inspections with the most exposed faces
  • Include mastic in your cyclical inspections
  • Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
  • Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early

Log the date and extent of the resealing for each block. That makes future programmes easier to plan and gives you a history.

Joints on a building age together so a single failure is a sign to check the rest. A planned reseal saves repeated visits.

Surface by surface

Planned maintenance

Planned resealing replaces emergency callouts and spreads the work.

Estate-wide resealing programmes

Housing associations and agents often manage many similar blocks. Each block is priced and scheduled in order.

Common questions from Tealing clients

Will you price a mastic programme across our Tealing portfolio?

Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.

Is Tealing off your patch?

Not at all. Tealing is within our area. We cover the whole of Scotland. Where we can, we group nearby jobs to make the most of each trip.

Do you work to architects’ specifications?

Yes. We follow the specification, along with the manufacturer’s installation guidance, and we raise anything unclear before work begins.

How do you handle work on occupied blocks?

Occupiers stay in the building throughout. If any flats or units need access, we will tell you in advance so it can be arranged.

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 work can be quoted per building or as a whole.

Is mastic sealing guaranteed?

Our workmanship carries a 12-month guarantee and we hold public liability insurance.

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.

Honest limits

Being straight saves everyone time. Fresh joints won’t solve:

  • Misted or failed double-glazed units
  • Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
  • Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we will tell you if so)

If you’re not sure, just give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we seal

  • Shopfronts below residential blocks
  • External wall and movement joints
  • Communal kitchens and washrooms
  • Balcony and threshold joints
  • Window and door perimeters on blocks
  • Communal entrances and stairwells

Doing it in-house

A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. Where it goes wrong is preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

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.
