About our construction mastic in Sighthill
We work to the specification and the programme rather than whatever product is to hand. If a product is named, that’s what goes in; any alternative we suggest is put to you before anything changes. Backing, primer and depth follow what the sealant maker sets out so the detail on the drawing is what ends up on site. If you are dealing with window and door perimeters that won’t pass inspection and old sealant on a refurbishment that needs stripping before new work, we can help, on brick and block movement joints, sanitary and kitchen joints and window and door perimeters alike. A single leaking joint is often how a building in Sighthill first comes to us: we look at the rest while we’re there and tell you what we find.
Construction in Scotland’s cities is a mix of new build and work to existing stone buildings. Building warrants and the Scottish technical handbooks set the standard, and the mastic follows the specification.
Every job ends the same way: guaranteed. You get a 12-month guarantee on our workmanship, and we explain exactly what that covers when we quote.

FAQs: Sighthill
Will you take on work at estates like St Rollox Business and Retail Park, close to Sighthill?
Yes. Estates, retail parks and business parks around Sighthill, St Rollox Business and Retail Park among them, are all within reach. A few photos and the unit address let us price the work.
Who do we deal with for shared-part sealing on a tenement in Sighthill?

Is any job too small?
Small jobs are welcome alongside larger packages. Send details for a fixed quote.
Do you take on mastic snagging only?
Yes, we can. Share the list and photographs, and a fixed quote follows, with the work timed to your handover date.
When can you be on site?
The office is staffed Monday to Friday, from 8am until 5pm. Let us know your site hours and access windows, and the work will be planned around them.
Do you cover Sighthill?
Yes. Sites across Sighthill are covered, and the same phone number covers every area.
Can one quote cover more than one building?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, with one point of contact.
How the quote is worked out
A fixed quote reflects the actual work. It takes account of:
- Any access equipment needed
- Distance, for remote addresses
- Backing rod, priming and other preparation
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
The price depends on the quantity of joints, what has to come out first and the access. Call for a quote once you have the details.
Before you send an enquiry
There’s no need for a formal survey. These details are enough to start:
- Any specification or named product
- How the joints are reached, and at what height
- Photos of the joints, close up and from further back
- Your programme or deadline
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 send photos by email if you’d rather talk the job through.
Aftercare for building managers
For the best life from the joints:
- Ask installers to correct oversized gaps first
- Don’t schedule sealing before decorators and flooring are done
- Stick to the specified sealant rather than a generic substitute
- Brief the final clean team to avoid blades near sealant
The package carries our 12-month guarantee for workmanship. The guarantee covers how we sealed, not later damage by other trades.
Snag items left to the last week put handover at risk. A planned close-out through each area as it completes keeps the list short.
Owners, agents and contractors
Planned maintenance programmes are welcome: resealing failed joints building by building, on a schedule that suits your budget. Sites in Sighthill can sit alongside others in a wider programme.
FMs need a contractor who is easy to get on site. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we’ll confirm them with the quote.
Facades, frames and programmes in Sighthill
Projects in Sighthill follow Scotland’s building regulations, with the local authority acting as verifier. The mastic package follows the approved specification. The west of Scotland, where Sighthill is, gets more rain than the east. External mastic needs dry spells, with internal work ready to fill the wet days.
On a campus such as Glasgow Caledonian University, 0.6 miles to the south-west of Sighthill, new teaching buildings and residences are typically built and refurbished around the academic year. Hotels like Cathedral House Hotel (to the south of Sighthill) rarely close for long, so refurbishment mastic is phased floor by floor. Projects at colleges like City of Glasgow College - City Campus, 0.6 miles south-west of Sighthill, tend to run to term dates, so the mastic is planned tightly.

Our process
Before we leave any area, we remove the tape, clean down and inspect every joint. Where the sealant needs time to cure before use, we tell you and sign the area. In a Scottish city, kerbside space and loading need planning, especially near the centre. Tenement closes, shared stairs and factor approvals may also be involved.
- Drawings, specification and programme come to us.
- Quantities are measured and a fixed price returned.
- The sequence is agreed with the site manager.
- Plots or floors are sealed as they’re handed over.
- 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.
Preparing the site
- Make sure the joints can be reached
- Confirm the product named in the specification
- Warn occupants and staff about the work

Why act early in Sighthill
Refurbishments sometimes budget for new windows when the frames are sound and only the seal has failed. Sound frames often need only a new perimeter seal and that’s a far smaller job. If the frame is life-expired, we will tell you. Getting access arranged for a building in Sighthill takes time, so it makes sense to renew every failing joint while it’s in place.
Access often affects the price as much as the sealing: joints within easy reach take less time than ones that need access equipment. Tell us how the joints are reached and call for a quote.
What you get with us
- Fully insured, including public liability cover
- Commercial sealant work since 2005
- Coloured sealants to suit the setting, where available
- One phone line for London, the South East and Scotland

Surface by surface
Window and door perimeters
Inside, a paintable sealant or decorators’ caulk is used where the joint doesn’t move much. The specification decides which, and colour-matched products can be used where the frame is on show.
Fire-rated sealant where specified
Fire-rated sealant is one type of fire-stopping product. Collars, wraps, batts and boards are specified for other services, and we’ll tell you if the detail calls for something else. Tell us what records you need and we will confirm with the quote.
