Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
When to bring in a specialist
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.
The visible bead is only part of the job. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are where general trades tend to cut corners.
Mastic sealing in Wellbank, done properly
For blocks and buildings in Wellbank 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. A list of buildings, a few photos and approximate joint numbers are enough for a quick quote or we can visit. Most enquiries involve draughts at frames across a block and old repairs sealed over failed mastic, across communal entrances and stairwells, shopfronts below residential blocks and window and door perimeters on blocks. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Wellbank first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
For buildings around Wellbank, we group the work to keep travel and visits down. A list of addresses and photos lets us quote for them together.
The 12-month guarantee covers our workmanship: the preparation, the sealing and the tooling. Damage, later alterations by others and movement beyond what the joint was designed for sit outside it.

Signs you need mastic sealing in Wellbank
UV and rain age external sealant. It stiffens, stops stretching and cracks most of all on the sunniest and most exposed elevations.
Look out for the following:
- Window mastic that has split and shrunk
- A mix of products and colours from past repairs
- The same joint failures repeated across a portfolio
- Draughts at frames across a block
Buildings close to stations like Monifieth station, 3.2 miles south-east of Wellbank, are often flats over shops, with frame mastic to keep sound.

Our process
On arrival, we sign in, go through any site induction and check how permits are handled. Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work typically takes a few days for most blocks, with larger programmes scheduled building by building. For a building near Wellbank, directions, keys and a contact on the day are worth sorting early. That goes into the plan alongside the quote.
- We inspect the joints, building by building, and record what has failed and why.
- You get a fixed quote, priced per building where that helps your budgeting.
- The programme is fixed with you, including dates you can pass on to residents or tenants.
- Old sealant is stripped and each face prepared back to firm material.
- Backing rod and primer go in where the joint and the product need them, then new sealant is applied and tooled.
- Completed joints are inspected and carry a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
What we need from you
- Send your site hours and access windows
- Send asbestos survey details if the building is pre-2000
- Send any specification or drawings in advance

Advice
FAQs: Wellbank
Do you work for managing agents with blocks near Monifieth station?
Yes, and several blocks can go on one quote. Send the address, photographs of the elevations and your access arrangements, and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Is Wellbank off your patch?
Not at all: smaller places are covered as well as towns. We cover the whole of Scotland. Send photographs and a list of what needs doing, and we will plan the job to need as few trips as possible.
When is resealing likely to be due?
It depends on movement, UV and weather, cleaning, traffic and the product. Sealant joints are maintenance items, so inspect them regularly.
Who decides which product is used?
If the job is specified, we follow the specification. If not, we choose for the movement, the surfaces and the conditions, in line with the manufacturer’s guidance.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some products skin over quickly but need longer to cure fully, so we’ll confirm the curing time on the day.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
Do you guarantee the mastic work?
A 12-month guarantee covers our work. It covers our workmanship, not later building movement, damage or frame failures.

What happens if it’s left?
