Tell us what needs sealing and where, with photos or drawings if you have them, and we’ll price it.
Construction mastic in Provanmill, done properly
The specification and the programme set the job. Where the specification names a product, we use it; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Joint widths, backing, primers and tooling follow the manufacturer’s guidance so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you are dealing with caulk cracking where joints are moving more than expected and perimeter gaps outside the sealant’s range, we can put it right, on sanitary and kitchen joints, window and door perimeters and brick and block movement joints alike. One point of contact handles commercial sealant work in Provanmill from the first photographs to the final walk-round, whether it’s one building or several.
Where new frames meet sandstone or granite in a Scottish city, the sealant has to suit the stone: 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.
We stand behind the joints we seal: 12 months, guaranteed. That covers our preparation and application, and we come back if anything isn’t right.

FAQs: Provanmill
How is mastic work on a tenement’s shared parts in Provanmill usually organised?
In most tenements, the owners agree shared repairs, and many use a property factor to arrange them. One quote can cover a close or the whole block.
Could you schedule work at a campus like University of Strathclyde for the vacation?
Yes. Tell us the term dates, vacation periods and access windows, and we’ll plan the work around them. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, including public liability cover.
When can the area be used after sealing?
That comes down to the sealant and the temperature. Some take light use quickly, others need longer to cure, so we will confirm the curing time on the day.
How long will the new sealant last?
There’s no fixed lifespan: movement, exposure, cleaning, traffic and the product all play a part. Treat them as maintenance items and inspect them regularly.
How do you deal with asbestos in old sealant?
Some older mastics, especially in pre-2000 buildings, can contain asbestos. We check the asbestos register before cutting out old sealant in an older building, and if asbestos is suspected, work stops until it’s tested. We don’t remove asbestos-containing materials.
Can you fit around our programme?
Our work is sequenced around the programme. Each plot, floor or elevation is sealed when it’s ready.
How the job changes by surface
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. We can work through the snag list area by area.
Window and door perimeters
Frames sealed into the opening keep rain out of the reveal. We use the specified perimeter sealant, usually a low-modulus neutral-cure silicone and set the depth with backing where needed.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Paperwork matters too. Many sites expect CSCS cards, RAMS and proof of insurance, and our CSCS-carded applicators are used to working under those rules.
A short, simple internal joint is often within reach of a maintenance team. The usual problems come from preparation: new sealant over old, damp or dusty faces, or the wrong product for the movement.

Why it’s worth doing now in Provanmill
Some packages split mastic across the window fitter, kitchen fitter and plumber. In practice it often means different standards, gaps in responsibility and snags nobody owns. One mastic subcontractor for the lot keeps it simple. Scottish city buildings take plenty of rain, so a split or hardened joint lets water into the wall. Renewing them early protects the fabric.
Cost follows what’s involved: stripping out, preparation, sealing, access and phasing. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain how it’s made up.
