About our construction mastic in Pollokshields
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 and the asbestos survey is checked first on older stock. After that, the joints are prepared and sealed to the specification. Most enquiries involve frame perimeters left unsealed or poorly sealed and a long mastic snag list close to completion, across window and door perimeters, sanitary and kitchen joints and cladding and panel joints. Whoever orders the work in Pollokshields, the brief is usually the same: a clear scope, tidy work and joints that don’t fail again.
Sandstone and, in Aberdeen, granite buildings need care when new windows or panels are sealed against them: the right primer, a neutral-cure sealant and a colour that blends. That holds on a tenement as much as on a city-centre office.
A 12-month guarantee applies to all our work in Glasgow. If an installation problem shows up, phone 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we’ll arrange a return visit.

What happens if it’s left?
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. We price the specified product and will tell you plainly where an alternative would or wouldn’t work. In a tenement or shared city building, water from a failed joint can reach other owners’ property, which makes early repair simpler for everyone. Fixing it promptly keeps repairs small.
The work involved drives the cost: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a quote and we will explain how it’s made up.

Diagnose, treat, sign off: that’s the shape of every visit. We inspect the joints and confirm what’s in scope, then we prepare and seal each joint with the specified product, and the job ends with a walk round and sign-off. 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.

- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Each area is sealed when it’s released.
- Every joint is cleaned, set to depth and sealed with the specified product.
- After snagging, the work is handed over under our 12-month guarantee.

When something else is needed
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Frame gaps too wide for sealant, which the installer needs to correct
- Specifying the product where the designer hasn’t
- Rework caused by others damaging completed areas
If in doubt, ring 01277 525 020 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Surfaces we seal
- Cladding and panel joints
- Internal decorators’ caulk
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Window and door perimeters
- Sanitary and kitchen joints
- Brick and block movement joints
General trades versus a specialist
Some joints are best left to specialists: for example fire-rated seals that must match a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
Putting right a botched joint often costs more than sealing it well at the start, since all of it has to come out and the faces be cleaned back again. For that reason, many FMs and contractors use a sealant specialist from the outset.
What affects the price in Pollokshields
Each job is priced on its own details. The main factors are:
- Removal of failed or old sealant
- The size and state of each joint
- The total length or number of joints
- Location, for remote and island sites
There’s no price list, since every building and every scope is different. For a fixed figure, call for a quote and we will price your job on its own details.
Details that help us quote
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Rough lengths or quantities, or drawings if you have them
- Specification clauses that apply
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
Send details, get a quote, we seal, guaranteed: that’s how every job runs. The first step is to give us a call on 01277 525 020 or send photos by email with what you know.
