About our construction mastic in Bishopbriggs
On refurbishments, the mastic package usually includes cutting out old sealant as well as sealing new work. Old beads come out completely, as fresh silicone can’t grip old and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. If you’re dealing with perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range and snag items on joints that need redoing before handover, we can help, on sanitary and kitchen joints, floor and skirting junctions and window and door perimeters alike. Most enquiries from Bishopbriggs start with one failed joint and grow into a wider look at the building: we check the joints around it and give you an honest view of what needs doing now and what can wait.
Scottish towns such as Bishopbriggs see new housing, schools and health centres alongside work on older stone and harled buildings. The mastic package changes with the building: harl and render on some, cladding and brick on others.
Work we carry out in East Dunbartonshire comes with a 12-month guarantee. If an installation problem shows up, give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us and we will arrange a return visit.

Should maintenance staff do it?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
What you see is the finished bead, but most of the work is hidden. Backing rod, primer where specified and a joint designed to move with the building are easy to get wrong without experience.
Aftercare for building managers
After handover, these steps help:
- Ask for joint and product checks before the package is urgent
- Check frame gaps are within the sealant’s range before sealing
- Release areas for mastic once other trades have finished in them
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
At handover, keep the product details with the O&M information. Future maintenance is easier when the products are known and avoids guesswork when joints are renewed. We can confirm the handover information you need when we quote.
Sealing outside when the joint is damp or too cold leads to poor adhesion. Waiting for a dry joint and the right temperature is better than redoing work.
New build and refits around Bishopbriggs
The west of Scotland, where Bishopbriggs is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.

The mastic follows the specification that goes with the warrant.

Signs you need construction mastic in Bishopbriggs
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. Sealing before decorators, flooring or other trades have finished leaves joints exposed to damage, so they end up back on the snag list.
Clients typically get in touch after noticing one or more of the following:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Early adhesion failures on new external joints
- Mastic snags holding up handover
- A mastic package split between trades with no clear owner
Projects at colleges like Glasgow Kelvin College - Springburn Campus, 1.9 miles south of Bishopbriggs, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

What the job involves on each surface
Window and door perimeters
Perimeter joints between frames and the structure are the weather line on any new building. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone, with backing rod in deeper gaps.
Snagging before handover
Snagging is often the final mastic stage. We can work through the snag list area by area, cutting out damaged joints and resealing them properly.

Yes, sites like Low Moss Industrial Estate are within our area, along with the rest of Bishopbriggs. Send details of the unit and the work through our quote form for a quick quote.
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as Stobhill Hospital?
Yes. We work in healthcare settings as well as offices and schools. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
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.
What accreditations do you hold?
CHAS and Constructionline are both in place, and each applicator is CSCS-carded. We’re fully insured for public liability.
Can you quote from photographs?
Many jobs can be quoted from photographs, drawings or a joint schedule. Where they aren’t, we arrange a site visit.
What joints do you seal on a new build?
The scope comes from the specification and drawings, but most packages include frame perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints, caulking where specified and a snagging pass.
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.
