Construction mastic in Pollok, done properly
Refurbishment work needs a slightly different approach from new build. Existing joints have to be stripped back to sound faces, because fresh sealant can’t key into cured silicone. New and existing joints then get the same preparation. We work on internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and sanitary and kitchen joints, and what we’re called in for most is different trades sealing to different standards and sanitary sealant damaged by following trades. A specialist sealant contractor works differently from a general builder: on jobs in Pollok, preparation and product choice get the time they need.
Around Pollok, city construction ranges from new offices, student housing and flats to the refurbishment of traditional stone buildings. Work comes under Scotland’s own building standards, and our job is to seal to the specification.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Glasgow. Should something we installed fail, phone 01277 525 020 or send photos by email and we will come back to it.

For managing agents and facilities managers
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: working through a building or an estate in stages that fit your budget. Pollok can form part of a wider programme.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Tell us what site paperwork you need, such as RAMS, an insurance certificate or CSCS details, and we will confirm with the quote.
What the job involves on each surface
Bathrooms, en suites and washrooms
In bathrooms and washrooms, an anti-mould sanitary silicone goes around every fitting. Each joint is prepared, sealed and finished with a neat tooled line, and any bath is loaded with water first where that’s the agreed method.
Window and door perimeters
Internal perimeters are normally sealed with a paintable product where decorating follows. The specification decides which with colours matched to the frame where needed.
FAQs: Pollok
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Pollok normally organised?
Usually the owners agree it together, and a property factor often handles the arrangements. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Glasgow Gilmorehill Campus for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we will plan the work around them. Let us know which documents your site asks for, and we’ll confirm them alongside the quote.
Will you stick to the specified products?
The specified product is what goes in. If we think an alternative would suit better, we put it to you first.
Do you offer coloured sealant?
Often, yes. Many products come in a range of standard colours, and matching to RAL references or surrounding finishes is often possible. We will confirm the colours available for the specified product.
When can you be on site?
We are in the office from 8am until 5pm, Monday to Friday. Tell us your site hours and access windows and the work will be fitted around them.
Do you have public liability insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
Can staff carry on working while you are here?
Usually, yes. Phased work can be planned so areas stay in use.
What sets the cost
Before we quote, we look at:
- The size and state of each joint
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Phasing around occupants
Quantities, awkward access and phased working all shape the price. So do site requirements such as inductions and permits, along with the time of year for external work.
Sending details for a quote
Diagnosis starts before we arrive. Tell us:
- Access details, including height
- Approximate linear metres or a joint schedule
- When you need the work done
- The site address and postcode
A handful of photographs and a postcode is the fastest way to a quote. Upload them with the quote form, or ring 01277 525 020 or email us to discuss it first.
Signs you need construction mastic in Pollok
Wide, tapered or inconsistent gaps around frames are a common problem. Every product has limits on how wide a joint it can bridge, so gaps outside that range need sorting by the installer first. Better to raise it at the start than seal a joint that’s bound to fail.
Look out for the following:
- Oversized or tapered gaps around new frames
- Internal caulk splitting as the building dries out
- Snag items on joints that need redoing before handover
- Existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing
Projects at colleges like Glasgow Clyde College - Cardonald Campus, 1.3 miles to the north-east of Pollok, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.
What your quote should include
- Can the work be phased to keep areas open?
- How the joint faces will be prepared and primed
- Which product they’ll use, and why it suits the joint
- How joint depth will be controlled
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Main contractors and clients often ask for CSCS cards, RAMS and insurance details, and we will confirm the paperwork you need with the quote.
Redoing a failed joint typically 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.

From enquiry to sign-off
Before any cutting starts, the area is protected: masking tape along the joint edges and sheeting over anything nearby. The work itself usually takes whatever the programme allows, since the work follows the trades as areas are released, and our waste is bagged and taken away as we go. University, hospital and office estates in Scotland’s cities have their own permits, inductions and sign-in rules. Pass on the site’s contractor rules when you get in touch.

- A fixed quote sets out scope, products and phasing.
- Site paperwork is confirmed and our CSCS-carded applicators are inducted.
- Sealing follows the programme as areas are released.
- Any frame gaps or issues outside our scope are flagged to the site team.
