Maintenance after handover
For the best life from the joints:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Make it easy for occupiers to report draughts
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Mention RAMS, insurance or CSCS requirements up front
Keep records of when each building was resealed. That makes future programmes easier to plan and shows what was done.
Left open, joint edges in render, brick or frames can deteriorate. Then the edges may need repairing first.
Mastic sealing in Tighnabruaich
Blocks are lived in, so access and disruption have to be thought through. Dates, areas and the order of work are agreed with you in advance so you can let residents know what is happening. Entrances and stairwells are kept in use throughout. We work on communal kitchens and washrooms, balcony and threshold joints and communal entrances and stairwells, and what we’re called in for most is leaks at window and door perimeters and no planned programme for sealant. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Tighnabruaich from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.

What the job involves on each surface

We typically work through a block’s windows in a planned order. How each joint is reached is agreed at quote stage.
Tenement and older buildings
Natural stone can be marked by the wrong sealant and we choose accordingly.
Frames, entrances and external joints in Tighnabruaich
Tighnabruaich lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Sea-facing elevations take driven rain and salt, and their mastic shows it before the sheltered sides do, so it’s worth inspecting those sides more often. The west of Scotland, where Tighnabruaich is, gets more rain than the east. The weather side of a block typically needs attention first. We plan block programmes with the forecast in mind.
Around Tighnabruaich, a planned programme renews failed mastic across a building or estate in one go.

- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
- Misted or failed double-glazed units

Questions about Tighnabruaich
Do you take on block-wide or estate-wide mastic work in Tighnabruaich?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.
Does a coastal location like Tighnabruaich affect which sealant is used?
It can. Driven rain and salt are tougher on outside sealant than sheltered inland conditions. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. If old sealant is suspected, work stops until it’s tested in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Does the weather affect the work?
For external joints, yes. The joint has to be dry and within the product’s temperature range, so frost, rain or cold mornings can delay outside work. Internal work is rarely affected.
When is resealing likely to be due?
There isn’t a single answer, because life depends on how much the joint moves, how exposed it is and how it’s cleaned and used. Regular inspection is the best way to catch problems early.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. Otherwise, we recommend a product to suit the joint’s movement, the substrate and the conditions, following the manufacturer’s guidance.
Signs you need mastic sealing in Tighnabruaich
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.
What tends to prompt an enquiry:
- Old repairs sealed over failed mastic
- Damp patches beside frames
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Open joints in brickwork or panels
Trustees of buildings like Parish Church can bring frame and external mastic into a planned maintenance list.
Before you book anyone
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Their public liability cover
Leave it or put it right?
Piecemeal repairs over the years often leave mismatched sealant. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Around smaller places like Tighnabruaich, halls, stores and seasonal buildings may not be checked often, so a failed joint has time to cause damage. Early resealing prevents it.
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.
