When to bring in a specialist
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist works through quantities efficiently, leaves a consistent finish and backs it with a 12-month guarantee.
Certain joints really need a specialist: for instance fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. Getting these wrong normally costs more in the end than doing them right.
How we handle mastic sealing in Tyndrum
For over 20 years we have resealed joints for owners, agents and landlords. Every applicator holds a CSCS card and we hold public liability insurance. Resealed mastic joints in Tyndrum carry our 12-month guarantee. If you have damp patches beside frames and mastic failing across several blocks on an estate, we can put it right. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Tyndrum first comes to us: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Around Tyndrum, outside mastic waits for dry weather and the right temperature. Programmes allow for the weather.
What our 12-month guarantee covers is the way we did the job: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Our process
Where the site stays busy, we agree a sequence with your contact so the disruption stays in one area at once. Each section is protected, cleaned back and sealed, then handed back before we move to the next. For a building near Tyndrum, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. We will confirm the plan with the fixed quote.
- First we look at the mastic on each building and note what needs replacing.
- 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.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Deep joints get backing rod, faces are primed if the manufacturer specifies it, then the joint is sealed and tooled.
- Each building is checked on completion and the work carries our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Tell us what induction or permit system the site runs

How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It allows for:
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Access and working height
- Whether the work must be split into stages
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, how much old material needs removing and how the joints are reached. Call for a quote once you have the details.
What to include in your enquiry
Whether it’s one area or a whole building, these details speed things up:
- Your programme or deadline
- The site address and postcode
- The asbestos register, for older buildings
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
Need a figure for a tender or a budget? Send the scope and any drawings, and we’ll return a fixed quote that you can work with. If you have questions first, call 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Honest limits
Honesty saves time and money. Fresh joints won’t solve:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Broken glass or failed sealed units
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
If in doubt, speak to us on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

FAQs: Tyndrum
Can you quote for a block close to Tyndrum Lower station?
Yes. Managing agents, landlords, property factors and housing associations are who this service is for. Photos of each elevation help us quote accurately.
Is Tyndrum too small for you to travel to?
No. Places such as Tyndrum are covered as much as the big towns. Every Scottish council area is within our area. Good photos up front let us bring everything on the first visit.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
We talk through access for each building when we quote. Tell us the building height and any access already in place, and we will tell you how we’d approach it.
Do you work for managing agents and housing associations?
We do. 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.
Do you check for asbestos in old sealant?
We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials. Anything suspect is tested before we carry on in line with the dutyholder’s asbestos management.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
Residents and tenants carry on as normal. We flag any areas that need internal access well before the dates so you can arrange it with occupiers.
What guarantee do you give on resealing?
There is a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, backed by public liability insurance.
Why it’s worth doing now in Tyndrum
Mixed repairs by different contractors leave a patchwork of products and colours. A block-wide reseal gives one product, one colour and one guarantee. Buildings that aren’t in daily use, such as halls and seasonal premises, may let water in unnoticed, giving water time to get in. Resealing early avoids that.
Every site prices differently: the joint sizes, the specified product, access and working hours each have a bearing. A fixed quote follows once we understand the job.
Why choose Mastic Doctor in Tyndrum
- A fixed quote before work starts
- CHAS accredited
- Old sealant cut out, never sealed over
- Colour options checked against the specified product

Keeping the joints sound
Problems stay small when the joints are checked regularly. In particular:
- Prioritise elevations facing the weather
- Reduce knocks to communal area joints
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- List the paperwork your organisation requires when you send details
Keep bins, bikes and deliveries away from low-level joints where you can. Knocks cause many early failures in communal areas.
The longer failed joints are left, the more likely the substrate edges break up. Then the edges may need repairing first and the job grows.
