Frames, entrances and external joints in Yarrowford
The east of Scotland, where Yarrowford is, gets less rain than the west. Outside mastic still waits for dry, frost-clear conditions.
With historic buildings such as Bowhill House (to the south-east of Yarrowford) in the wider area, owners of older properties around Yarrowford should expect mastic to need a product that suits old masonry.

Advice
Aftercare for building managers
Cleaning and maintenance staff play a part too. Pass these on to them:
- Avoid piecemeal callouts where you can
- Make mastic part of routine maintenance checks
- Ask residents or tenants to report leaks and draughts early
- Start inspections with the most exposed faces
If paintable sealant was used, decoration can follow once it has cured. Silicone typically can’t be painted, so keep decorators off it.
Budgets are easier to plan when sealant is part of planned maintenance. We can quote buildings in priority order so spending is spread.
What we are called out for in Yarrowford
We often find joints filled solid with no backing rod so the mastic is bonded on three sides. It can’t stretch properly and it tears.
Look out for the following:
- Movement joints with sealant missing
- Damaged joints in communal entrances and corridors
- Complaints coming in block by block
- Cracked, hardened mastic round windows on a block
For owners and agents with buildings in or around Yarrowford, block-wide mastic programmes deal with frames and external joints of the same age together.
Comparing quotes
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
- Do they follow the manufacturer’s priming guidance?
- Is depth set with backing rod, or bond-breaker tape in shallow joints?
Work for main contractors and building owners
Hotels, schools, healthcare sites, offices and retail units book us directly too. We plan around the way the building is used, so guests, pupils, patients or staff are disturbed as little as possible.
Building owners and managing agents use us on sealant work across single buildings or whole portfolios. Several sites can go on one quote, which keeps the paperwork simple.
FAQs: Yarrowford
What documents will you need to give us for a job in Yarrowford?
RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details: list what the site needs and we will confirm it with the quote. Our applicators are CSCS-carded, and we carry £5m public liability insurance.
Can you quote for mastic across several buildings in and around Yarrowford?
Yes, we quote for single buildings and for programmes across several blocks. Send the addresses and photographs and we’ll give a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Is mastic sealing guaranteed?
Every building we reseal has a 12-month guarantee. It applies to our workmanship rather than damage or problems with the frames.
Is asbestos a concern with old mastic?
Some mastics in pre-2000 buildings contain asbestos. We ask for the asbestos register or survey before work starts, and if it’s suspected, work stops until it’s tested.
Can you seal joints high up on a block?
Every block is different. How upper joints are reached is agreed before work is booked so there are no surprises.
Will residents or tenants be disturbed?
The work is planned around occupiers. We agree the programme so you can notify occupiers and communal access is kept open.
How the job changes by surface
Window and door perimeters on blocks
We usually work through a block’s windows in a planned order. Access is agreed with you before the quote is fixed.
Tenement and older buildings
Older buildings, including Scotland’s sandstone tenements, have their own joint details. We look at the substrate before choosing a sealant.
What we can’t put right
Part of a good diagnosis is knowing where sealant stops. You will hear from us if the cause turns out to be any of the following:
- Asbestos-containing sealant, which we don’t remove
- Frames that are rotten, warped or broken
- Roof leaks, gutters or failed flashings that aren’t sealant joints
If in doubt, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will say what we think.
Surfaces we seal
- Balcony and threshold joints
- External wall and movement joints
- Window and door perimeters on blocks
- Communal kitchens and washrooms
- Communal entrances and stairwells
- Shopfronts below residential blocks
