Common questions from Old Balornock clients
Can work at a site such as University of Strathclyde fit around teaching?
Yes, holiday working periods are the norm on campus jobs. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Would you work within a site like Glasgow Royal Infirmary?
Yes, provided the work is planned with the site’s estates team. Before anything starts, the estates team agrees permits, inductions and infection-control measures with us.
Can you handle several sites?
Yes. We take on portfolio and planned maintenance work, planned site by site to suit how each building is used.
Do your applicators hold CSCS cards?
Our applicators hold CSCS cards, and we are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member. Public liability insurance of five million pounds is in place too.
How much does the work cost?
That depends on the job: quantities, access, the product and any phasing. Call for a quote.
How do you work with the site programme?
The programme sets the job. Share the release dates and we will match our work to them so sealing follows the trades.
Can the building stay open while you work?
Yes, as long as we plan it. Tell us your site hours and access windows and we will plan around them.
How we handle construction mastic in Old Balornock
The specification and the programme set the job. Where the specification names a product, we use it. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance, so the joints perform as the designer intended. If you are dealing with frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades, we can help, on floor and skirting junctions, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints alike. Searching for sealant specialists in Old Balornock? We’ve been sealing commercial buildings since 2005, with CSCS-carded applicators.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
Every job we finish is backed by a 12-month workmanship guarantee. If a joint we sealed fails because of how it was installed, we come back and put it right.

Why it’s worth doing now in Old Balornock
On a refurbishment, there’s a choice between resealing existing frames and replacing them. If the frame is in good order, cutting out and resealing the perimeter can be all it needs, which is a much smaller cost. We will say so if a frame itself is the problem. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Pricing mastic packages depends on how many there are, their condition and the access. Ask us for a fixed quote.

Doing it in-house
The visible bead is only part of the job. Correct depth, the right primer and a sealant matched to the movement are easy to get wrong without experience.
Redoing a failed joint usually costs more than getting it right at the outset, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. That’s why many clients bring in a specialist from the beginning.
On site: what to expect
Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then the work is carried out to the specified product and detail, and we finish with a walk round so the work can be signed off. City jobs in Old Balornock usually need parking and loading planned. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- We price from the drawings, specification and programme you send.
- You receive a fixed quote listing scope, products and phasing.
- You tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we confirm it with the quote.
- Areas are sealed plot by plot or floor by floor as the trades hand them over.
- Joints are cleaned, primed where the maker requires it, backed and sealed to the specification.
- Snags are cleared before handover and completed areas carry our 12-month guarantee.
What we need from you
- Move anything stored against the joints
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Flag any permit to work we will need

Damaged, missed or untidy joints make up most snag lists. We price snagging as part of the package or as a separate visit, depending on what suits the programme.

- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- The product specified
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Any access equipment needed
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote.
What we need to price the job
Good information means a firmer quote. When you get in touch, include:
- The postcode of the building
- The type of building and who uses it
- A wide shot and a close-up of the area
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Share whatever details you have and we will fill any gaps with a visit.
Common problems we fix in Old Balornock
On construction sites, joints normally fail early because of when they were sealed, not what was used. If sealant goes in before the last trades are through, it gets knocked, painted over or contaminated, so they end up back on the snag list.
Any of the following is a good reason to get the joints checked over:
- Different trades sealing to different standards
- Failed sealant in an existing building being refurbished
- External joints sealed in damp or cold conditions that are now failing
- Frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed
On a healthcare site such as Glasgow Royal Infirmary, which lies south-west of Old Balornock, new blocks and refurbishments go on while the hospital keeps running, so mastic work is sequenced carefully.
Questions to ask before you book
- Is the sealant right for the movement and the substrate?
- Who will actually carry out the work
- How joint depth will be controlled
- Their pre-qualification and accreditations
