Block-wide mastic in Walston
Being in the east of Scotland, Walston gets less rain than the west coast. Frost and condensation on winter mornings can still delay outside mastic. We plan block programmes with some give for it
Owners near Walston can renew frame and external mastic block by block on one programme. If you’re responsible for a building such as Walston Parish Church, frame and door mastic needs the same attention as any other property.

About our mastic sealing in Walston
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, giving you what you need to notify residents. Communal entrances and stairs stay usable throughout. We work on balcony and threshold joints, communal kitchens and washrooms and shopfronts below residential blocks, and the usual reasons a site gets in touch are mastic failing across several blocks on an estate and communal area joints that look neglected. Facilities teams, main contractors and managing agents in Walston tend to want the same three things: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Around smaller places such as Walston, buildings managed by landlords and associations are often small groups of flats, sheltered housing and halls. Frames on exposed elevations are where mastic usually fails first.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, wherever the site is. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint with your site contact. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. For work around Walston, we aim for one trip, which is why we ask for photographs and a full list first. Outside work also needs a suitable weather window.
- First comes a look at the joints and, for older buildings, the asbestos records.
- A fixed quote covers the joints, products and order of work.
- Failed mastic is removed completely.
- Joint faces are cleaned, backed and resealed.
- We finish each building before moving to the next.
What we need from you
- Point out parking and an unloading spot
- Send any specification or drawings in advance
- Let us know about inductions and permits
Request a quote
Photos, drawings or a schedule of the joints and a fixed quote comes back to you. If the job needs a look first, we will arrange a site visit.

Different surfaces, different methods
Commercial and mixed-use buildings
Mixed-use buildings combine shops below with flats or offices above, so phasing has to suit both. We plan around the site hours and access windows you give us.
Communal areas
Low-level communal joints get damaged more than most and tend to fail first.
Common questions from Walston clients
Will you price a mastic programme across our Walston portfolio?
Yes. Planned programmes across a building, block or estate are a core part of this service. Residents are given notice through you, and the work moves building by building.
Is Walston too far out for you?
No. Small places get the same service as large ones. Our area covers all of Scotland, cities, towns and islands alike. We plan jobs in smaller places so return trips are kept to a minimum.
Can you follow the specification on our project?
Yes. Send it with your enquiry, and the quote will be based on it, flagging anything that needs clarifying.
Is it fine to apply new sealant on top of old?
No. Failed sealant is removed and the faces cleaned back to sound, dry material first, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
Who decides which product is used?
A specification, where there is one, decides it. Without one, the joint decides: its movement, its surfaces and what it has to cope with.
What about access for upper-floor joints?
It depends on the building. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so the fixed quote reflects it.
Can people stay in the building while you reseal?
We plan around people living or working in the building. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers, and entrances stay in use.
Aftercare for building managers
Your facilities or cleaning team can help the joints last. Share these points with them:
- Log resealing dates block by block
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
Our workmanship is covered for 12 months, so report any failure in that time. Beyond that, routine checks spot the next round of repairs.
Water getting in round frames can damage plaster, decoration and the frames themselves. Resealing early keeps the job small.
Why it’s worth doing now in Walston
Replacing mastic before water gets in is a planned job. Once water has tracked in, the repair list grows and occupiers notice. In Scotland, wind-driven rain finds a failed joint quickly, and for a smaller place like Walston, a repair visit takes planning, so it’s better to act early.
Every site prices differently: joint size, product, access and site hours all play a part. Send the details and a fixed figure follows.

What we can’t put right
Not every problem is a sealant problem, and we’d rather tell you before you spend money. These need a different solution:
- Leaks from above rather than through a joint
- Masonry that has broken away beside the joint
- Materials that need asbestos testing before work
Not sure which it is? You can call 01277 525 020 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
