About our mastic sealing in Tullynessle

Our clients include managing agents, property factors in Scotland, housing associations and landlords with block or commercial portfolios. A planned, building-by-building programme often works better than reacting to each complaint and we quote and schedule each building in turn. We work on external wall and movement joints, balcony and threshold joints and shopfronts below residential blocks, and what we are called in for most is brittle perimeter mastic across a building and water getting in round frames after rain. Sealant contractors, mastic applicators, sealant specialists: whatever the job title on the order, in Tullynessle it comes down to the same thing: failed joints cut out, faces prepared and the right sealant laid to the right depth.

Around Tullynessle, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. We agree a window with some flexibility.

Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Tullynessle as everywhere else we work. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Owners, agents and contractors

Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send the details, accept a fixed quote, and we carry out and guarantee the work. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

We take on planned maintenance as well as one-off repairs: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Tullynessle can form part of a wider programme.

Quoting for work in Tullynessle

Sealant work doesn’t have a standard rate, since sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Working within restricted access windows
  • Site requirements such as inductions and permits
  • The total length or number of joints
  • Any access equipment needed

Access can matter as much as the joints themselves: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Mention the access as part of your enquiry.

What we need to price the job

Whether it’s one area or a whole building, the same details help:

  • Any dates the work must fit around
  • Clear photos of the problem areas
  • Specification clauses that apply
  • The site address and postcode

Every job follows the same four steps: send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed. To take the first step, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email drawings and photos.

When it isn’t the sealant

We check first that sealant really is the fix. It won’t put right:

  • Glazing that needs replacing
  • Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
  • Cracked or crumbling render, brick or stone at the joint edges (we’ll tell you if so)

If you’re not sure, just ring 01277 525 020 or send details through our quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Joints and surfaces we work on

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

Tullynessle: questions and answers

Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Tullynessle?

Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. We can phase the programme to suit your budgets and notice periods.

What paperwork can you provide for a job in Tullynessle?

RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we’ll confirm it with the quote. We hold £5m public liability insurance, are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and our applicators are CSCS-carded.

Do you seal on top of existing sealant?

No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.

How long does a job like this take?

It depends on the scope, though a typical visit typically takes one or more days per building, depending on the joint lengths and the access. For bigger or phased jobs, we’ll set out a timescale with the quote.

Will your applicators have CSCS cards?

Yes. Should the site need card details in advance, let us know and we will send them with the quote.

Can you work to our specification?

Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and we’ll price the work to it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.

Do you work in Tullynessle?

Yes. We cover Tullynessle and the rest of Aberdeenshire. For a quote, ring 01277 525 020 or email the details over.

Looking after the joints

For the best life from the joints:

  • Group repairs into a planned programme
  • Check sealant joints during planned building inspections
  • Log resealing dates block by block
  • Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early

Ask residents or tenants to report draughts or leaks round windows early. A quick report keeps a small repair small.

Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order and work down the list.

On site: what to expect

Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself typically takes anything from a day to a few weeks, depending on the number of buildings and joints, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. Travel to smaller Scottish places like Tullynessle is planned so the job is finished in one visit where possible, 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

  • Send any specification or drawings in advance
  • Clear stock, furniture or equipment away from the joints
  • Let us know about inductions and permits

Specifications, drawings and tender packages are welcome with any enquiry, and we will price against exactly what is specified. For smaller jobs, photos and a description will do.

Advice

Common problems we fix in Tullynessle

Communal entrances and corridors see a lot of wear, with joints near the floor and around doors suffering most. Regular cleaning wears them further.

Look out for the following:

  • Window mastic that has split and shrunk
  • The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
  • Movement joints with sealant missing
  • Leaks at window and door perimeters

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