Agents, factors and owners’ representatives all follow the same route: send details, get a fixed quote, we seal, guaranteed. Keys, access and contacts can be agreed in advance.

From enquiry to sign-off

Everything around the joints gets protected before any cutting starts, and the work normally takes as long as the agreed sequence needs, which comes down to joint lengths, access and handover dates. For premises in Gowrie Park, tell us about access times, shared entrances and any building rules, so the work can be phased and areas kept in use.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Gowrie Park
A new building moves while it dries and settles. Materials lose construction moisture and shrink. Picking a flexible sealant where there’s movement keeps snags down.
Clients normally get in touch after noticing something like this:
- Bath and shower joints scraped during the final clean
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
- New external sealant already peeling away
- Inconsistent sealant finishes from plot to plot
School extensions, at buildings such as Menzieshill High School, typically run to the summer holidays, mastic included.
Questions to ask before you book
- Will CSCS-carded applicators be on site?
- What level of public liability insurance do they hold?
- Whether primer will be used where the manufacturer specifies it
- What site paperwork they can supply
Questions about Gowrie Park
Does the sea air around Gowrie Park change the choice of sealant?
It can. Coastal exposure works external joints harder than inland weather. That puts more weight on product choice, primers where the manufacturer specifies them, and correct joint sizing.
How do tenement owners in Gowrie Park get shared-part mastic done?
Typically through the property factor, once the owners have agreed. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No. We cut the old material out and clean the joint back before sealing, because fresh silicone will not bond with aged silicone.
How long does a job like this take?
We plan the time on site around your programme and access. We’ll give you an estimate of time on site when we quote.
What happens if old sealant might contain asbestos?
The duty to manage asbestos sits with the building’s dutyholder, so for older buildings we ask for the asbestos register first. If anything suspect turns up, we stop until it’s tested.
Do you install fire-rated sealant as part of a package?
Fire-rated sealing at service penetrations and linear gaps can be included where specified. Record requirements are confirmed at quote stage.
Will you stick to the specified products?
Specification first, then the maker’s instructions. Primers, backing and joint depth follow what the manufacturer sets out.
Why deal with it now?
When a package runs over budget, downgrading the product is a common first thought. A failed joint in the defects period costs far more than the product difference, especially externally. Where an alternative is genuinely suitable, we’ll say so. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, and failed external joints let it into stone walls and around frames. Resealing promptly protects the stone and the interior.
Larger quantities, tricky access or phasing all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Why appoint us
- Joints cleaned back to sound surfaces
- Work to your specification and the manufacturer’s guidance

What else we do in Gowrie Park
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Allow flexibility for external sealing in damp or cold weather
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Get the mastic subcontractor involved early in the programme
- Record the products used in the O&M file
Tell the builders’ clean team which areas have new sealant. Scrapers used on frames and worktops can nick or lift a new bead so keep them off the joints.
Sanitary joints that fail early become defects soon after occupation. Leaks behind showers and basins damage finishes and floors, leaving the remedial work to the contractor. Proper preparation, with the right silicone first time, keeps it off the defects list.
Quoting for work in Gowrie Park
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- How accessible the joints are
- The site’s rules and procedures
- Phasing around occupants
- How much existing material needs removing
What a job costs comes down to how many linear metres there are, what has to come out first and how the joints are reached. Call for a fixed quote when you’re ready.
Sending details for a quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any dates the work must fit around
- Where the site is, with the postcode
- Whether the building will be occupied during the work
- Clear photos of the problem areas
Quotes are fixed against the scope you send, so the cost is agreed before work starts. To start the process, call the office on 01277 525 020 or email the details over.
Contractors’ notes for Gowrie Park
With the shore within about 2 miles, Gowrie Park counts as a coastal location. Schemes this close to the sea see their facade joints tested by wind and rain from the day they’re sealed, which puts weight on correct joint sizing, priming and a sealant suited to the exposure. The east of Scotland, where Gowrie Park is, gets less rain than the west. Frost and condensation on frames and panels can still hold up external mastic on winter mornings. We agree external dates with the site team and keep internal work ready.
On a healthcare site such as Ninewells Hospital, which lies east of Gowrie Park, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully. Recladding or extending a unit at a site like Dundee Technology Park, less than half a mile to the south of Gowrie Park, brings panel joints and frame perimeters into the programme.
