Photos, a specification or a quick description of the joints is enough to start a fixed quote.
Cost factors for mastic packages
Quotes vary with the job. Expect it to depend on:
- Induction, permit and paperwork requirements
- Distance, for remote addresses
- How much existing material needs removing
- Access and working height
Whether it’s a single area or a whole estate, the same things set the price: what’s in scope, how we reach it, what’s specified and when it needs doing. Call for a quote and we’ll put a fixed figure on it.
Sending details for a quote
The more we know, the firmer the quote. Helpful details to send:
- Your programme or deadline
- Access details, including height
- Whether an asbestos survey exists
- The product your specification calls for
Every quote starts with the facts: what’s there, how much of it, how we reach it and what’s specified. Send what you have, and we will arrange a site visit if anything is unclear.
About our construction mastic in Thornliebank
Buyers, tenants and clients notice sealant lines long before they notice the structure. A smeared bead round a window or a gap behind a worktop ends up on the snag list. We seal so the snag list stays short, whatever the size of the scheme. Most enquiries involve existing joints on a refurb that need cutting out and resealing and frame gaps too wide for sealant alone, across internal decorators’ caulk, window and door perimeters and floor and skirting junctions. For commercial sealant work in Thornliebank, you deal with one contact from quote to sign-off, for single jobs and planned programmes alike.
In smaller places such as Thornliebank, building work tends to be single schemes rather than big developments. The mastic still needs to suit exposed elevations and Scottish weather.
Our workmanship is guaranteed for 12 months, in Thornliebank as everywhere else we work. If our installation lets you down in that time, we return and fix it.

FAQs: Thornliebank
Can you take on a job at a hospital such as New Victoria Hospital?
Yes. Healthcare sites are among the places we work. The estates team’s permit system and infection-control rules come first, and the work is planned around them.
Will you plan work around the academic year at somewhere like Riverside Music College?
Yes. Education sites normally want the work in vacations or in phases during term, and we plan to suit. We are CHAS accredited and a Constructionline member, and paperwork such as RAMS is confirmed with the quote.
Do you seal on top of existing sealant?
No, never. Overlaying old sealant is a frequent cause of early failure, so everything comes out first.
What’s the quickest route to a quote?
The quote form is the simplest route, though you can also give us a call on 01277 525 020 or email us. Photos, drawings or a joint schedule help us quote quickly.
Can weather delay the job?
It can, when the joints are outside. Sealant won’t bond properly to a wet or frosty joint, so external work may be moved if conditions aren’t right. Indoors, the weather is rarely a problem.
Do you take on multi-site work?
Yes. Several buildings can share a single quote, and you deal with one contact throughout.
Do you work in Thornliebank?
Yes. We take on work across Thornliebank, and the same phone number covers every area.
Commercial clients in Thornliebank
Main contractors use us as their sealant subcontractor, on new build and refurbishment alike. Programme, specification and site rules come first, and our applicators hold CSCS cards.
Facilities managers want contractors who arrive with the paperwork sorted. Let us know the documents you need (RAMS, insurance certificate, CSCS details) and we will confirm them with the quote.

What sealant work can’t fix
Some faults sit outside our scope, and we point that out rather than sealing over them:
- Defective windows, doors or glazing units (the supplier or installer’s job)
- Deciding which fire-stopping product a penetration needs
- Joint design decisions that belong to the architect or engineer
If you are not sure, just call 01277 525 020 or email a schedule or drawings and we will give you a straight answer.
Joints and surfaces we work on
- Window and door perimeters
- Floor and skirting junctions
- Cladding and panel joints

Different surfaces, different methods
Snagging before handover
The last pass before handover is where mastic snags are cleared. Snags are cleared room by room.
Kitchens and utility areas
Commercial kitchens often need hygienic or food-safe sealants. Joints are sealed smooth so they’re easy to clean.
Site staff or a sealant specialist?
Certain joints really need a specialist: fire-rated seals that must follow a tested detail, trafficked floor joints and external movement joints among them. A poor seal in places like these tends to cost more to put right later.
For a quick touch-up, site staff may be fine, but larger jobs are different: a specialist brings efficiency, a consistent finish and a 12-month guarantee.
